I think you missed my point
VR support 'not at launch' for Odyssey
- Thread starter Lordxenu
- Start date
And even if they add vr it's not that you can't play the game anymore. You can still play it as always.
My point is that you can delay buying pretty much anything* in perpetuity because something better will always come along.
Hardly a valid comparison as Apple failed to support a common standard, although you can almost guarantee that Apple won't support OpenXR
* anything in this context naturally excludes necessities such as food
That's not a good comparison.
I'm not the one arguing against the possibility of backwards compatibility not being implemented in pc gaming. The best and constantly ongoing example of customers being regularly thrown under a bus along with old hardware/software.
Apple still supports OpenGL, it just hasn't been updated at launch (several times).

Puts the "gah not at launch" kerfuffle into perspective doesn't it. I wonder if their change of heart had anything to do with the announcement of openXR's launch.
On the negative side microsoft have repeatedly been in legal poop over exercising a monopoly so market dominance/standardization might have unexpected repercussions.
Microsoft is the typical company that does things purely for profit. If even they realized the market interest for such product sorry but there's nothing else that can be said against VR implementation.
It certainly puts your ‘VR campaigning is pointless' position into perspective
Yeah I'm sure noted megacorp microsoft did it just for them and not as advertising for their new software announced yesterday.
Lol, are you seriously arguing that they're adding VR purely for the bonus media attention?
Are you seriously arguing they did it because of some whinging ?.
I'm saying it seems to be in the mix. And it's certainly what MS are saying. Not sure why you're so resistant to it being a factor. Other than daft stubbornness
The difference is MS said long ago , soon after their feedback to them not planning on VR that they were fully committed to VR and had people actively working on it. IF FD would commit to that it would make some happy. Problem is FD use the same "not at launch" carrot all the time, for example PS4VR, NPC wingmen, NPC crew, multiple SRVs, landing on new volcanic world's (yes I remember that little nugget in one of the horizons revels) as well as SRV / SLF / mothership Multiplayer play in multicrew.
So I think it is quite understandable why some feel (myself included) that FD have spent up all their customer faith of jam tomorrow and want more firm commitments before spending any more cash

If MS said they were fully committed to VR and had people working on it the celebration at them just announcing they'd gone with VR wasn't actually a switch of direction, sounds far more like people misconstrued an earlier announcement confusing "not right now" with "never" and got grumpy for no reason.
Which sounds somewhat familiar.
Sounds like you’ve misconstrued what happened. Which is familiar :/
They initially said no VR, seemingly reacted to a market push and said they’d try and add VR (probably not for launch), and have now announced partial VR support for approx a few months after launch. Which people are celebrating.
Meanwhile, regarding ED, VR-heads are still quite naturally grumpy about the cessation of VR support for the expansion, and the lack of a firm commitment to adding it after launch.
If FDev were to announce partial support coming a few months after launch, we’d probably celebrate too. Weirdly enough
