Who is the $1,059 Steam VR headset for?

Sean Hollister and CNET's Scott Stein compare notes on Valve's new Steam Frame VR headset, which starts above a thousand dollars. Both reviewers found the device buggy enough that they felt like beta testers rather than early customers. The headset is still full of interesting ideas, including a stated ambition to one day bring Steam games to mobile phones. The episode's central question is who the device is actually for, in a market that has mostly moved on from VR. Sean's own verdict is that it's aimed at irresponsible hardware nerds — the one niche left willing to pay for rough, ambitious hardware.
