Game News inXile developing The Mage's Tale, a VR Bard's Tale spinoff for Oculus, to help fund Bard's Tale IV

Just you wait.

In a couple of years you'll get articles saying "regular PC gaming is dead, long live VR" on them trendy hipster gaming blogs.

Or "How VR gaming killed our marriage". "We used to be able to talk and see each other while he gamed, now he just lives in another world."

It will probably be the opposite. VR games still haven't figured out basic things like voluntary movement in a 3D environment. I won't mention the tech requirements for actually good VR, which should be more than 90fps, and for sure more than 1440p. It has a long way to go still.

As I said before... Inxile is a fucking ponzi scheme, their various kickstarters are just a means to fund day to day costs.

This will end in bankruptcy.

It's a bizzare one though. Because normally you find new people to take money from in a ponzi scheme. For the most part, Inxile keeps tapping the same people with their kick/figstarters.

I am aware that yours was rhetorical puzzlement, but nonetheless, it reminded me of this:
