Oculus Go Sunsetting
Hey guys,
I just wanted to start an open conversation with the community about the Oculus Go sunset from a developer standpoint. I feel like we're missing information that we'll receive sometime between now and December (the sunset date) but I wish that we could just receive that info now so we can start making decisions.
It feels strange to sunset a device before you've released the second version of it. I imagine Oculus is still committed to the idea of a 3 line-up structure (cheap - go, medium - quest, high end - rift). So I feel it can be assumed this rumored Del Mar headset is in some form a successor to the Oculus Go. Is it going to release before December? Will it be as easy to get on the app store as was the Go?
Leaving a price void at the 200 mark seems strange as well. Is the plan to lower the Quest headset price to 200 around December? To fill this gap?
As of right now, for a developer on Go, it feels that our users will really have nowhere to turn to. So whatever info you guys have about your plans moving forward would be greatly appreciated. There really isn't a need to shroud your plans from developers, not sure why companies do this, especially ones with no competition. We need to know so we can plan. Thanks.
How is everyone else feeling about this?
