As if they're not. Any game developer that is a geek worth his salt is on this like white on rice.

It'd be close to impossible to work so many hours on such a detailed immersive world, only to get to the last step before making such an experience as close to real as it'll ever get; and deciding that extra work isn't worth your time or effort.

Even if it's not a feature that will bring a great deal of monetary benefits; it is a killer app on the sole basis of selfish interest alone.

This... this is the **** the geeks and freaks have been dreaming about since Neuromancer. And it's finally at our doorstep.

The idea that you'd say no to an experience of such gravitas, because it's a 'gimmick', or 'monetarily unjustifiable'... can only come from a mind that lacks a whit of imagination or insight.

Thanks for the link, definitely worth the read.

Even if the rift never gets there, it's a wonderful thing for us all when devs partake in activities that promote 'immersion awareness'. This warms my cold little heart to see command chair posts like that.

10x the goal raised, that's fantastic.

Glowing reviews from some of the biggest names in gaming? Wish I knew about this ahead of time so I could have contributed.

45min video but well worth watching. Can't wait for my unit to arrive.
