Selling standalone webcams for 100$ basically makes no sense anymore. Watch how Logitech reacts to this. They'll either rebuy this software from Corsair for 10x the price or they'll make a very similar software to just stay in that market.

Not everyone wants to tie up their cell phone to use as a webcam to stream.

Yeah, nah, this is a stupid idea.
Tie up an expensive "i" device to use Windows.
How about manufacturers build in better webcams and software in exiting products.
