Early Access isn't supposed to be for regular gamers, it's specifically for unfinished games that only people who are willing to put time into testing and reporting bugs should play.
When your game is actually finished, your game will be discoverable. Work on finishing your game.
Yeah, but Steam does a way better job with EA titles.. EA is not meant for people to be a free QA department. EA is a way for developers to get early funding while working on the game and early feed back. That's the primary function of EA.
That being said, if EA game isn't discoverable, developers won't get any funding needed to finish the game. That begs the question why even release on Oculus Home at all. Now I understand why some of the games never get released on Oculus Home and linger on Steam - there is no incentive for devs to release on Home.
I personally have been advocating for Oculus Home release for any dev out there, but since Oculus doesn't really care much to give their own storefront decent tools for discoverability of _all_ titles, including EA, I don't think I will continue advocating Oculus Home release to anyone.
@imperativity probably worth getting across to the Home team ^^
