Like many people who play this game on PC, I play it exclusively in VR. It truly is one of the most fantastic VR experiences you can have. And as you can see by my playtime on Elite (not sure why Odyssey registers 0 hours, but you can see on my profile, I have over 900 hours in Elite), I am no stranger to this game.

For a long time I have been frustrated by Frontier's decisions, many of which have a history of being completely incompetent. When they first said that Odyssey wouldn't support VR at launch, I decided I wasn't going to get it. That is until they changed their mind and said it would be.

And now that Odyssey has launched, and Frontier has already taken my money, they have once again decided to cut VR support. It's really heartbreaking. I love this game and Odyssey, for all it's flaws, is a step in the right direction, especially for the UI, which was always the most frustrating aspect of the game.

But now, with this announcement, I can't help but feel I was baited into buying their unfinished expansion with the promise that VR would be supported, only for them to throw that promise out the window now that I've already paid and the refund window is long gone.

I've put up with a lot of Frontier's **** because the foundation they have is truly one of a kind, but this was the final straw. And I'll be honest, I'm mostly writing this because I'm hoping the backlash will force them to change their mind, but until that happens, I'm out.
