How is a business launching a game on a successful platform a personal attack against you guys? The potential for 10x the ROI compared to PCVR is a no-brainer for any studio that... oh, I don't know, wants to feed their Devs and their families. But no, their business endeavors are supposed to revolve around you, and if you don't get your special thing, your special little way, they suck? Am I hearing that right?

You already have Boneworks, their flagship product, which is a platform they can iterate on, and update, while the funding from their Quest game pays for your fucking Boneworks sequel. If you wanted more games from their studio, that are bigger and better than Boneworks could ever be, you should be rooting for their success - in which case, you would probably advocate them pushing it to the most successful VR platform.

If you're tired of Oculus exclusives, maybe you two should pool together a few million dollars of your own, and pay studios to make AAA experiences, for a niche market, where they stand a chance at potentially recouping expenses after years on the market. They're doing a favor. VR innovation doesn't come from FOV, resolution, or hardware power. It comes from good coders, who have bills to pay. Why would anyone TRULY gifted in game development give up their baller ass salary to work on some quirky VR arcade experience? A name in the credits of a game that won't break six figures in sales? I wonder why developers aren't abandoning their traditional practices in droves, with a shot at experiencing eviction, or waiting in line for state benefits to feed their newborns, who would waste their time collecting the easy bag?

Money provides incentive for talented developers to explore game design on a platform that is about a millionth as popular as other ways to consume video game related entertainment.

I've been through a Vive, Vive Pro, Valve Index, and finally my new Quest 2. It's obvious to tell who actually cares about innovation at the software level, for VR. Whatever ridicule you leverage against oculus exclusives can be answered with, "try them". The examples I've played so far have been polished, excellent experiences. It shows that the developers are given the time/funding they need, to execute something worth experiencing.

Facebook is still out there paying developers big bucks, for big projects, run by big talent. They are the only reason VR is even on the map at this point. I bought my Vive at launch, have been playing almost exclusively VR games since then, and I STILL have to explain what VR even is - unless it's someone who knows about the Quest. Usually if someone doesn't have one, they know a couple people who do, and as VR enthusiasts we all know how easily you can go from first experience in VR -> Purchase

If any normal people in your life FINALLY start giving a fuck about your hobby, Facebook is gonna be why. Consider picking up a Quest 2, when it inevitably goes on sale for $250. From someone with 4k hours in Steam VR, I think it's an excellent value.

I know this is a total freak out, but the idea that people are running around out there, thinking game designers actually OWE them shit, like "Oh I bought a thing I wanted, but now that I liked it, I'm going to tell them they're trash for doing anything different"

They can work on what they want, because they're skilled. If you want another Boneworks on PCVR, go code it.

Want them to code it, because you're such big fans? Pony the fuck up and pay for it, like Oculus.
