2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I wanted to get myself a BigScreen VR for Christmas. In order to get one, you need to do a 3d depth face scan using an IOS device that has privacy settings and content blockers set to as permissive as possible. Except even after doing that it doesn’t work. The solution literally listed on the customer support site was to either try someone else’s IOS device, or to fucking drive to an Apple Store and hope they let u plug ur email into their germy, who knows what software’s running on it, demo iPhones and hope it successfully runs their shitty WebKit app.

Couldn’t get the face scan working, definitely not gonna plug my email into a demo iPhone, and I’m pretty sure I don’t live near an Apple Store anyways.

BigScreen can get fucked, stick with Steam Index VR

They use the front face scanner that's used for Face ID, right? I'm pretty sure those have been on all iPhones since the 10 from 2017, so it's hardly a bleeding edge feature considering it's 8 years old. Having an iPhone as a hard requirement definitely sucks though.
