>Binstock also announced the company’s decision to suspend all OS X and Linux development indefinitely. The news undoubtedly came as a gut-punch to the VR faithful. The lack of universal platform support means that any dreams people might have had about VR for the masses will have to be put on hold — either that or it’s time to look elsewhere for salvation. Oculus isn't the only VR on the market. I'm sure other VR companies will support UNIX. If they don't - someone will fill that market. Why? Because it's a market. Markets that have no competition will inevitably obtain competition if it is profitable to fill the market. >At least we can stop deluding ourselves about one thing. The Oculus Rift is for games — period; full stop The two largest markets for VR are Gaming and Porn. Education probably comes as a close 3rd. I don't see why anyone would have ever thought otherwise; unless they don't understand economics. Two of the largest markets within entertainment will obviously be the markets targeted with a new technology. Wait until it takes over the major markets before expecting it to fit any niche markets. >foreshadowed GamerGate Have to shoehorn that in there somewhere somehow. It's a requirement if you write anything and are from SanFran it seems. Is anyone else sick of seeing this shoehorned in everywhere? >Oculus has made a choice which ultimately will benefit the industry — by all means go forth and make VR gaming a mainstream category! Does the author mean the VR industry or the Gaming industry at this point? It's difficult to tell. > — but in the short term they have broadened the gap between game developers and everyone else How? No really... how? I'm not understanding how they came to this conclusion so I'm curious.
