Also European here. They do. Certainly in the shops I’ve been in. Probably a country thing.

I feel that Htc have been exclusively underwhelming for a while, same goes for their new reveal, Vive focus vision i think. Nice stats for a wireless pcvr headset, but still uses fresnel lenses :(

Alright I have now played it. It’s not worth looking into. Sure it might improve down the line, but I have 0 hopes for that. Avoid it.

Since it’s free I will probably check it out. The style seems to be all over the place though, with little care for any kind of world consistency. Seems like a popular design choice with metaverse stuff, but that is usually because of user generated content, not just the developer throwing a bucket of paint on the wall.

Also that trailer is fucking awful lmao. Oh well, let’s see if the game is any better than it. The concept of a vr mmo is admittedly alluring, I prefer a bit of gameplay direction rather than the total openness of vrchat etc. A world to get immersed into.

This is NoP at home.

But we probably all make it onto some list ^^

I agree for the most part. A company holding an iron grip on the game and keep the competitive scene alive as a marketing tactic is a recipe for disaster if we are to take it seriously as a long term sport. A company will not hesitate to shut things down if they unanimously decide they no longer want it to exist.

Regarding whether esports are sports or not is kind of arbitrary. The same as how we call competitive chess and darts and formula 1 sports despite being more mental than physical in nature.
