    As a Mac gamer, I've heard this story from the game industry many times before, and I know how it always ends. No thanks. I'll be looking to HTC Vive.

    They didn't just pause development. They ripped the whole thing out of their source distribution along with the build utilities except for msvc project files. "Pause" would have meant at least keeping and accepting patches for what they had.
