It is, although I don't object to paying twice for it because they've gone to great lengths to explain that they've essentially rewritten the game from the ground-up to optimise for Quest, and that it's taken them almost a year. Devs gotta eat too, and it truly is a brilliant game. BeatSaber on the other hand, can fuck off. They've just bumped the price up to £23 because it's left early access, but the main attraction for me was playing custom songs which isn't available on Quest (and may not be depending on how easy it is to "hack" it in) - and £23 isn't really worth it for the meagre amount of content it has out of the box IMO. |

It seems massively unlikely that TheVision isn't the standard scale here. He'll buy anything as many times as you'll sell it to him. |

<22.99> BeatSaber (Oculus Quest) Turns out it has more content in the release version than I thought it did, and there are already promising strides towards getting user-generated content to work, so my "BeatSaber can fuck off" is rescinded. That and it's still awesome, even just the demo that I played last night. |

I knew it was £4 on Epic. (Bamba pointed it out in the gaming megathread.) I do not agree with Epic's business practices and will not support them. EDIT - That's the same reason I didn't download it when it was free on Epic either, I saw the story on Eurogamer at the time. |

At least Valve actually made their own games (at the time.....), Epic aren't even making anything, they're just swinging their money dicks around to snag exclusives and give customers a worse experience as a result. If BL3 (for example) was available on Steam and Epic, with it costing a bit more on Steam, I don't think anyone would complain. |
