I'm OK with FDev developing a VR version of the game, if, as with Bethesda's 'Skyrim' if you want the VR version then you pay for the VR version as a separate purchase not the normal flatscreen one that the majority on the Elite Dangerous players have, it takes valuable dev resources to develop VR games and that detracts from the development of the non VR game that most of us play!
... which many VR users have already said they would be willing to do ...
Good, all it needs now is for FDev to take (returnable) deposits for the development of such a venture... wad d ya say? £20 deposit?
I would have no problem with that, which you would already know if you had followed my post history.
Nah... I follow no one, but, good that you claim to be willing to support your choice.
Did it?... then you might have to take that up with FDev's legal department, but,as far as I am aware the Kickstarter never mentioned that VR would be a thing... but I didn't really look that much I just bought the game when it came out... like many folks, but I did get upperty when the ADS was removed after four yearsSo when I bought my LEP based on an advert that said it was designed from the ground up for VR, and I was securing access to all future updates....didn't I already pay for it?
Just like Microsoft Flight Simulator! Oh, wait....

Microsoft Flight Simulator Is Coming To Steam, VR Support Coming Later This Year - IGN
Microsoft Flight Simulator will launch on Steam, along with VR support for HP Reverb G2. Further VR headsets will be brought into the fold later down the linewww.ign.com
To be honest I'm a bit bored with it all, I simply can't understand why you think that the development costs and time involved to give you what you feel entitled to should be drawn from the same kitty of the game that most people play (flatscreen), that VR players are on the increase means nothing... and I feel that investing a great amount of resources to please only a handful of players is unjustified, and therefore a detriment to the furtherment of the game.LEP was available after kickstarter too, but yeah - I'm pretty sure it's not a legal thing at all what with EULAs etc. I don't care enough about it to bother anyway - was just making the point...
I already have paid for it. I've supported the same company you have, for the same game. I play in VR, and you don't. Same for many of us here. I get it.
Your Skyrim analogy is entirely flawed - it was released as a 2D game, and VR followed. ED's the other way around.
Your idea of a separate VR-only game that we'd need to rebuy is equally flawed. We've already invested in the development of this game, just the same as you have and anybody else who plays it. Ceasing ongoing support for a platform (eg. treating PCVR as a supported way of playing the game, as opposed to an in-game mechanism like the ADS) is something that VR players are entirely justified in feeling irritated about, and to propose solutions like in this thread.
What I find weird is you saying you're ok with VR dev if it's a separate game, as that's pretty much inferring that you're not ok with it if it's in this game. Given you've already benefited from the investment into this game made by VR players, and that you're advocating we be made to pay more to play a separate game - I'd suggest you're at best coming across as ungrateful and deluded, and at worst....well...I'm sure you can think up something
). That would be here: If they are seriously making an effort to add VR for ED:O then it makes sense to get us VR lot involved. Totally support this, a beta VR would be great.
One thing i dont get is that ED keep saying if not done right people will get Sick.
People got Sick driving the SRV for the first couple of hours..... Many VR users already have their VR Legs.
Let us use our VR legs in VR space
