After threadnaught 1 it will still work in a limited fashion and that is why I still have an interest in the game going forwards.
As for promises.... I feel you are building a strawman there...... Their marketing stated elite was a game built for VR, it was sold on a VR only store.
FD are under no obligation legally to do anything, that is for sure but promise or not customers with a dead end game on the Oculus store as far as I know still don't know what will happen to them about future DLC.
Customers are entitled to complain even if no legal promised were broken (imo of course)
Imagine if the next expansion was only on the Epic store ..... But steam users could still play Horizons, so that would be ok right?
Did FD promise to release all future content on steam? No maybe not but I bet the complaints would be "Epic"
So that's a yes on question one and no on question two. Thanks.
