Oculus is the worst thing to happen to the VR landscape. Develop for the consoles with your exclusive crap!

@IRONSIDE69 I disagree, Oculus helped VR more than you think.

@PABLOXMENA I'm not sure how good exclusive titles are for a niche market, especially when establishing a platform. I don't see how this is good for VR, seems only good for Oculus.

IRONSIDE you are either misinformed or you don't know what you are talking about. How is a lower price for entry (compared to VIVE and even PSVR now) for a AAA VR experience bad for VR landscape? How is putting money for exclusive AAA VR games instead of NO AAA VR games from GUNFIRE bad for the landscape? Just because you don't get to play these awesome games right when it comes out because you got tricked into buying crappy PSVR hardware don't mean we all should suffer! They can probably port it to other consoles or system at a later date. Even if they dont port it, it does not hurt the landscape, at the very least there are developers now that have more experience building VR stuff like FROM OTHER SUNS that can work on future projects. Also its better that they have exclusive VR games then no VR game at all!

@IRONSIDE69 Oculus is the reason the push to VR got so much development in the past few years. Without their push a few years back and sight of the future to come , we would have never got so many companies involved in 2017. This companies created competition and further development on this platform. They are also the ones responsable for making it cheaper and cheaper to consumers. Mad respect to their way of thinking and perhaps the main reason VR is what it is now. The future holds just better things.

Were it not for Oculus funds, some amazing VR games would never have been made. Paying for exclusivity is bad, but paying to get a game made that wouldn't otherwise, then making that game exclusive isn't.
