VR News: Sep 21 - Steam Removes Dev wanting to sue users - MS aquires VR VIP & More!
48Cheers Guys!
Some Preamble on slow comment responses last few days. I start preamble with some games coming to VR.
After this I talk about Hulu's planned release of two VR shows a sitcom and a news show. I then look at the acquisition by Microsoft of Mark Bolas a VR pioneer.
Next up I talk about Steam removing the games of a dev that was wanting to sue multiple steam customers.
After that I talk about a VR VIdeo producer "Specular Theory" who is coming to the Oculus Gear VR store. Next, Sasha Grey an ex adult film star who watched a short trailer and decided Adult VR content was "too in your face".
Next up a story on Sandisk and their new 1TB San Disk which will benefit VR/360 Cameras which generate extremely large video files.
Lastly, Sketchfab is getting Twitter support. Also, VR could benefit online dating but not in the sense that this article suggests as I give a bit of a different spin on the topic.
