You know what I think we need? (Repost from my original post in the General category)

It’s one small feature out of many, many others that were included to TU and will be included in the future. I would understand if TU was advertised as a VR-only game (or VR-centered), but it wasn’t. It’s not as much of a big deal as you’re making it out to be.

Yeah, I suppose you’re right. I mean, I didn’t back solely for the VR support anyway. Still would love to see it someday down the road, though. But if not, oh well.

You said that VR isn’t being developed because they could, instead, work on a feature that satisfies all players.

That’s why I said that that logic is stupid. Mac and Linux versions wouldn’t benefit ALL players, either, so according to your own logic, they should work on those either.

You are picking on one little word for no reason at all. I feel stupid that I even have to point out what obviously “all” meant. Obviously, that can’t be true. By your technicality, no feature can satisfy “ALL” players. That’s obviously impossible.

I could have gone detail on what “all” player meant and note every specific case, but that’s a waste of time. Anyone with decent comprehensive skills should be able to know what it generally meant.

The point was to note that working on a feature like VR is most likely not in the developer’s best interest when they could work on stuff that all of the TU players now enjoy when it is released, especially when VR takes a lot of work to get it working right.

It’s not “my logic”, but it’s the truth and how commercial game development generally work. If they work on VR right now, it would only grab a small audience. So what do they do? They instead work on a feature that everyone has access to.

I actually have Asperger’s, so I do have a tendency to take things too literally, so I am sorry for that. I also never said they had to add it right this second. I was thinking sometime after EA. See my previous post, though. rrmm made me realize that I’m taking this way too seriously.

Well, in a way Mac and Linux support would satisfy all players. If someone uses Windows and wants to play TU with their 2 friends who use Linux and macOS they could all play it and have fun together.

VR, however, doesn’t satisfy all players. The small amount of people who actually have a headset compatible would have fun for a few minutes or hours, but they’ll probably go back to keyboard and mouse after a while and the people without the money to buy headsets will lose out on the fun.

1. That’s a good point that I hadn’t even thought of.

2. Also a fairly good point. A lot of people do tend to go back to flat screen after some time. Me personally, though, I’ve never once gone back to flat screen in a game that added VR support. After experiencing a game in VR, it’s just never the same on a monitor

Yeah, no worries. I just don’t want to give the impression that I think VR is bad. I have a VR headset myself that I think I used for less than five “real” games so it would be cool to browse condos with it, but we know there are better things that Pixeltail can work for everybody to enjoy.

No arguments there. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still love to see VR support but even I wouldn’t want it until well after EA. Like you said, there are so many awesome things that I’m looking forward to that I wouldn’t want to be delayed by VR support. And don’t worry, I didn’t think you were implying VR was bad.

You know, in a way it could benefit all players. More people online to play mini games with, and some people may have friends with Mac and Linux computers that they can now play Tower with.

Edit: noticed this was already mentioned.

That’s already been pointed out.
