PC Aficionado: "With no shortage of great ideas, and a playing field that levels by the day, indie developers represent a vital part of the gaming industry. Some of the hottest games coming from crowdfunding and indie studios, proving we’ve come a long way from relying on AAA titles in order to get our fix. It’s an exciting time to be a PC gamer, and it looks like it’s going to keep getting better."
The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition has arrived for $399.99, but we wonder if it was really needed or just a simple cash-in.
We're talking about a limited edition item here, and by definition, those aren’t exactly 'needed'. But when you look at what’s included, the controller, the strap, and a few months of Game Pass, it actually turns out to be a surprisingly good deal.
What’s weird is that this is a VR headset branded with Xbox, a platform that doesn’t even support VR. And Xbox is part of Microsoft, a company that more or less walked away from all of its VR efforts. Yet somehow, this ends up being the best value available for a VR headset. If you're looking to get into VR, unless you're buying used, it’s hard to find anything that offers more for the price.

Sloclap's Rematch is far from done with major improvements on the way for the multiplayer football game after launch.
"The" future? Sole future? Doubtful.
A big part of the future? Most definitely.
Nothing new here though, as PC has always welcomed varied levels of game development, being that it's (still thankfully) not a locked down draconian controlled fortress of a system. Where you need to pay stupid fees, and cater to console manufacturer rules to release games on their hardware.
