    Also Valve: we’ll make some proprietary components that have major failure points, and then not offer replacements for sale (and if we do, at exhorborant prices).

    I’m talking about their VR headsets.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love them as a company. But while they’re pushing new industries, hardware is an after thought.

      proprietary components

      ridiculously stupid take. There are no open standards and commodity components for new inventions to adopt because the damned tech is new.

      absurd.
