Get over yourselves damn
Okay you completely misinterpreted the tone of my post. It wasn't a 'complaint'. It was an observation of replies I've gotten primarily on Reddit.
I'll be just as happy to get going again as is BUT to continually draw a new group of players and keep the numbers high requires constant upgrading because the market that a business is attempting to draw has a LOT of competition. I can grab my quest right now and play a plethora of games if that's to my liking.
Piggybacking on Fugis point a new marketing ploy may be in order. For instance in Quest2 there are a number of games you can try for a short period of time then opt out if it's not to your liking without spending a cent. I'm sure it's the same with other VR systems etc. I had no idea that AH existed until one fine day I happened to stumble across an ad on the Military channel. That was what? 10 years or so ago?
I'm sure there are tons of people out there that would enjoy playing with us if we just spread the word a bit via social media etc. But to retain those players is going to require updating the graphics, keeping content fresh, etc.. but I'm sure you know all of that.
If you take a good long look at my history I'm not a 'complainer' by any stretch and, quite frankly, from what I've seen the graphics suit my needs and desires but there's a whole host of people out there that want as much 'realism' as they can get short of sitting on a 55 gallon drum of fuel, turning the temps in their gaming area below 32 degrees, and every time you get 'killed' the gas can blows up with you on it. That goes a bit far for even me.
