    I think Microsoft should be pressured under this with their deprecation of Windows Mixed Reality. They’re totally fine with just bricking tons of highly sophisticated, expensive devices people already bought.

    And then they have the gall to talk about “sustainability.”

    Not gonna support it anymore? Give it to the community. Patch out the requirement for your top-secret black-boxed corporate garbage.

      That all costs money though …

      Money they earned when they said it will be around in the future, so fuck-em.

        100%. They shouldn’t be able to leave a device completely inoperable like that.

        I’m not alone when I say I just want my perfectly good VR equipment to continue working, dammit lol. Monado is crazy impressive, but if M$ just released some driver specs or something we’d happily have these things working on Linux within like a month. Then we could just go our separate ways lol.
