Is it exclusive to the Rift? by Zobeid · 2015-12-31 09:41 · Score: 3, Insightful

Will this game be available for other headsets?
The one dark cloud that I see hanging over VR right now is balkanization. Just like in the early days of computering: When you were the guy with the Atari 800, but you walked into the store and all they had was Apple II and Commodore 64 games. Then you went to the next store and found only Tandy and TI99/4A software. . .
So, are we going to have Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Razer OSVR, Playstation VR, Vrvana Totem, and something we haven't even seen yet from Apple, all running their own little software ecosystems full of "exclusive" titles?
