Its not a priority, but they are still fixing VR bugs. (Galaxy map seems improved in VR in the 3.3 beta for instance) But I would really like if they showed VR more love.
What scares me is that they cut Mac and Win32 support. Meaning they are fully prepared to cut of a part of the player base if they are too few...
Keep in mind that Mac support was dropped due to Apple's decision to not support key graphics technology commonly used in gaming and that WIN32 support was dropped because it simply doesn't have the capability of supporting the game that Elite is becoming (particularly Horizons). It wasn't because there weren't enough players on each platform. Personally I think they spent too much time trying to support these platforms which has delayed content for everyone else.
Absolutely, I know. And i think dropping those platforms were good decisions. I'm just afraid FD at some point in the future are going to look at the numbers and decide that the development overhead of making sure things work in VR isn't worth it, and drop the support.
There were technical reasons to drop Win32, but in the end they also used the numbers to argue that it would have a low impact on the community.
Thinking of it rationally I don't think we have anything to fear right now and judging from the bug reports there are actually quite a lot of the really active players that play in VR. I'm just saying the though of it scares me, even though I don't find it very likely at this point in time.
