Limiting their audience further to get the product out on store shelves in 2062 instead of 2063.

GG, Oculus.

2062? Hopefully they'll be working on VR contact lenses by then.

The specs are high for this and laptops are mostly s wasted of time lol

Why drop linux though?

Vulkan on linux could help.

I'll just buy oculus for my windows rt tablet lol

considering windows is 90% of pcs out there. dropping linux and mac means they will miss nothing.
besides, they probably have all the patents/rights/etc so its not like anyone else can get into that market without getting sued.

its safe to say rather develop for 90% and get it 100% and work on the other 10% later. who knows, with the experience they gain, linux and mac users might get a better product right off the bat since all the testing and troubleshooting will be done with windows product.

We're talking about a lot less than 90% of PC gamers.
