It has to be. I had to sell my wireless kit for my valve as it doesn't work with my new AMD CPU. I play tethered now and it's awful.
I don't care about the specs as long as it has a decent display and integrated well into steam.
Oh, and please have something akin to the knuckles controllers and it's grip function. The reason I haven't switched yet (besides meta being involved) is that I cannot use my knuckles anymore. Or without major hassle at least.
This game hinges on people being greedy.
