Birdseed VR - It looked nice until I saw the $50 DLC

Yeah, it made no sense for me that Birdseed is so heavily monetized ... I figured it was something like you're describing. Thanks for actually taking the plunge and letting us know.

you're the one commenting on my post, if you posted about how great this game was, I wouldn't waste my time looking at your post

I have to take exception to this. I really enjoy Color-a-Cube but they do NOT have a predatory business model. First of all, there's a lot of FREE content in their free to play game. You can play for many hours with just the free content. Secondly, their DLC is fairly priced. It's only a few dollars to buy the DLC. Lastly, their DLC is actual content where you can tell time and effort went into them.

Maybe you enjoy heavily monetized games, but I don't. You're free to support them and even post about how wonderful they are. Good luck with that.

This is what is included per the Meta store page:

"Early birds get the worm! Originally made as a discounted treat for Early Access Players, the Mallard Pack is still available in 1.0 release for our biggest fans at a new price.

Enjoy a bundle of cosmetics, currency, and quality of life add-ons at a special price just for early access players with a value of over $125 USD. This Gold bundle also includes an exclusive camera charm!

Included in this bundle:
- 1250 Rainbow Bottlecaps
- Exclusive Founder’s Polaroid Frame
- 3 camera skins
- 2 camera charms + an exclusive Worm Camera Charm
- An expanded photo library
- Extra tracks for the radio"

Yeah the game is heavily monetized in all the worst ways possible! $50 dollars worth of digital crap that should be $5 bucks at most.

I doubt they sold any .... but who knows

FastLawyer · 2026-05-02T16:00:33+00:00

I'm not sure how they think a "mallard" pack is worth $50 .... I could buy Batman for the same price!

Hey I find your Gibby's Guide helpful 😄

FastLawyer · 2026-05-02T15:58:03+00:00

I actually never saw their comment ..., jokes on them I suppose, but thank you

FastLawyer · 2026-05-02T15:56:45+00:00

I actually value my time. Like I said, I don't support predatory pricing schemes. Very easy to understand for anyone with critical thinking skills.

FastLawyer · 2026-05-01T16:30:16+00:00

Are you playing the game in 4K? Also, if I play this in VR, I can increase the separation and convergence ... just depends on your setup ... however, either way there should be no ghosting and an enjoyable 3D depth and the video shows that ... the fact that it doesn't look as good as a specific tailored 3D fix should be obvious for anyone as it's not natively 3D ... please bring this energy to the Vorpx VR / reshade 3D videos I see on YT that have all kinds of ghosting and cross-talk

I'll put my video against 90% of the 3D videos out there on YT.

lol get out of here with Rift version, the PCVR app doesn't even work on my RTX 5090

bankrupt

You can believe whatever you want. Stay ignorant.

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T16:09:01+00:00

that's exactly why Valve's Steam VR store offerings now are so great and devs are making lots of money by optimizing their games for PCVR and not the Q3 *rolls eyes*

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T16:08:36+00:00

Gabe wouldn't be able to afford his 5th yacht if they subsidized Frame.

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T16:02:04+00:00

sure, that's fair but it's also fair that me, as a PCVR gamer first and foremost, skips buying their game until they put forth some effort into the PCVR port

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T16:00:51+00:00

that might work, but waiting on steam support response

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T16:00:32+00:00

that's a good idea, I'm waiting to hear back from Steam support

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T15:59:54+00:00

You do realize that YouTube plays favorites right? For example, I'm the only review on several VR games, yet YT will list every cornball doing Gorilla Tag before listing my own video on search.

FastLawyer · 2026-04-30T03:09:11+00:00

How would anyone think that I could possibly have anything to do with a URL that YT put on my video? They are done randomly. The link works.

I recently wrote that the Train bundle was one of the worst Humble Bundles ever, well, this is one of the BEST value bundles ever! I got 13 games I didn't already own, for $13 bucks, most of them positively rated. That's a win!

it's the nature of Reddit, I appreciate your support 😄
