One of the reasons I pour a tremendous amount of time into covering Walkabout, doing a design tour each release, is because I see them as barometer of the overall VR market. If their creative engine can’t run then VR as a games platform is truly in trouble.

Phew. I think Resonite might get some Steam Frame support after all x3 To be clear though, I still think it's kinda ridiculous that devs have to go through the whole lottery process in the first place. As much as I like Valve as a company, as a VR dev I often feel we're left to dry.

Watched a few innings of immersive baseball last night in Vision Pro - it definitely gave that in-stadium feel, and I appreciated the overhead stats/TV view for additional context (like being at a game). Would want this as a mode to hop into, though, vs see the whole thing…I think
