While I agree with you in so far as I couldn't give a fuck about an end user agreement after shelling out hundreds of bucks for a thing which I now OWN in the real physical universe, at which point you can go fuck yourself telling me how to use it, I can't help but see comments like Brian's as sounding curiously like pitch for AMD stock shares.
But GPUs aren't something we lease. We BUY them. If I buy a Civic, Honda doesn't get to tell me that car isn't allowed to to drive to Austria with a snowboard strapped to the roof. They just don't. EULA's have gone batshit in 2017, as have marketing targets. Case in point: We have a simulator system with a grossly overpriced, and 4 years out-of-date Quadro card in tower. All it does is draw some extremely low rez graphics for practicing artillery fire, and some light geography physics. The card itself is a POS, and could have been more than ably serviced with a $240 gaming solution, but because it's being used in a military application, some genius with shit for brains was sold the $2000 turd GPU for each and every simulator. It's all about shafting the customer with double talk, fancy buzz words, acceptable "application" manipulation, and contract deals with people who don't know better.

1. Yep. It's changed how much I dig gaming again.
2. Gaming first, Porn second (oh get over yourselves..), Watching friends come over and get their minds blown while playing Eve:Valkyrie third (it's like being the first kid on the block with a NES in the 80's), Using it as a pretty badass display in it's own right for everyday computing with Virtual Desktop fourth, and lastly, but not least, finding something that made me love and get excited about being a PC guy again. Something that has been missing since we're stuck in a "Oh look, higher framerate and resolution, but otherwise the same-old, same-old" rut.
3. $600 total for a headset AND hand tracking controls is fine. We spend more than that on good displays, keyboards, mice, and headsets when added together. And now I'm going to save for a GTX 1080 hybrid, which will cost nearly as much as a Vive itself.
