I see the exclusives as a negative. I don't want to support their efforts to build a closed ecosystem around what should be an open API that any headmounted display + tracking can expose.
Would anyone with a straight face say the same about Nintendo's exclusives?
I don't see anyone else in the market funding great things like Medium, Quil, Lone Echo, Robo Recall. Feels it's just cutting off your nose to spite your face to complain about this.
An Oculus is not a standalone product; it is a peripheral that relies on an open PC platform for its processing. If software the Oculus uses can run on any PC and the Oculus does not have a unique hardware capacity to operate the software, then the exclusivity is an arbitrary constraint.
Oculus wants all the perks of being its own platform without the responsibility or technical merit.
Oculus is producing these at a loss given the current size of the market hoping it will pay out in the long term by growing a healthy ecosystem...it’s the only way
"Built ground up for VR AAA titles" != "Adapted VR AAA titles"
I refuse to use revive to play any of these games because I don't want to support the exclusives, but I gotta admit that something like robo recall looks better than anything that's available on steam
