There isn't much call for a Deck 2 yet. I'm more interested in Valve bringing out the Index 2 first. Luckily, we aren't waiting on the Index 3 yet otherwise I'd be less certain of it happening.
I really want to see Valve champion PCVR as much as FB has been pushing stand-alone VR. There is a decent-sized market there, but it feels like more and more large players are existing VR, leaving FB/Meta as the only one left standing (see Microsoft killing WMR, Sony pretty much abandoning PSVR despite it being the #2 selling VR platform). And as much as I commend Meta/Oculus for their innovations and continued research in this space, I don't think it's in anyone's best interest to see the market get monopolized by Meta.
I know. I'd just like the market to be more than a defacto monopoly with Meta selling 85% of all headsets. Especially given their privacy track record.
