Damn that's funny!

Like I said on the other thread. This is really important for the industry; we really need to prevent further fragmentation if for any reason so developers don't need to worry about supporting different SDK's.

I laughed a little harder than I think I should have at that.

Perhaps this will help push for more cross-platform VR games.

With the inclusion of Sony into the group I should hope so. Sony has been hinting at expanding more into the PC gaming market this year in general so this would make sense as well. Increasing support for VR helps fuels its growth even if the platform is not their own it will have an halo effect for people wanting something that works with their existing consoles or don't want to be bothered with PC's.

Its interesting also that the group will have the focus of also medicine and education as that could be a large selling point of vr which would hopefully expand the industry.

LOL. I think the idea is just as bad as "Two and a Half Men", so it should have a long and healthy life.

I wish I had time to turn it into an animated YouTube show. =)

What does it say about us that the worst shows get 10-year runs and some of the best are torpedoed after one?
