When it originally launched, I feared it would go the same way as Valve's previous inventions in the VR

What the hell is she talking about?

Index still gets regular updates and it still doesn't really have any competition at its price point (Quest with its ridiculous account requirements doesn't count).

Just because Index was not a massive success due to its significantly higher cost doesn't mean it's a failure, and it's far from abandoned.

How is the index? I’ve been thinking about getting one but I feel like there’s a new version right around the corner.

It's great, especially the controllers - there's nothing else like it.
And, well, it's the only headset making any claims about Linux compatibility, which is also a big thing for me.

But your concern is the exact reason I'm not sure I can recommend it.

Of course, Valve works on Valve Time, so the chances Deckard will release next month are basically the same as it releasing anytime in the next decade.
