Well yes technically speaking "snort". The point is it is hard enough to get folks who have moderate to poor computers and connections to not be a sinkhole for the devs efforts/abilities.
Mechanically we have great ways to install components in systems. With large computer driven systems that interface with a large diverse user group, I personally have had my professional life put in jeopardy by folks who say we can just plug in this "free" and/or "open/source" element.
well using a free phone app to stream video games to your cell phone is a bit different from using a free Russian antivirus program in place of your corporate Enterprise's firewall.
I was reading in another MWO thread someone was asking about MWO in VR and they were told it required a massive Multicore system and two linked 980 Nvidia cards, etc. My computer is at this point, kinda old. I have a Geforce 670 and an old intel i7-930, and I would fall somewhere near the mid-line of specs, and I can run VR just fine. Take a little bit of tweaking, but by damn, it does work, and it looks good.
So this is why I don't understand the attitudes that just immediately cast it out of thought because it would be too hard to adopt or implement. Clearly that's not the case, they just have to look into it. Everyone won't be able to do it, but the specs aren't that strict, and who says they have to guarantee everyone can play the game in VR with Ultra settings? They really don't.
