I am not sure if you all understand the "impact" that VR has had on the thinking in the consumer game publishing sector!
These guys had marshaled all their investment into supporting Gen-8 consoles and mobile game development. This saw a incredible downsizing and also a complete transformation to a non-retail business model (less games, more DLC).
With the popular tsunami that Palmer and the team have instigated - followed by the momentum of Valves / Steam; the consumer game scene has been left reeling, the possibility that the top five publishers may not be the ones benefiting from VR revenue and that the possibility is that the independent (bedroom) developer could take the big cheese in VR games! This has sent shockwaves through the leading publishers; and has led to the drastic re-think about how they [publishers] can come to the party - if not regain the initiative!
This comes on the heels of 3D games failure to launch - there is the possibility that Gen-8 and the traditional console game publishing scene may not be able to benefit from VR! What Sony is offering the traditional publishers may be a lifebelt before they are swamped!
