Thanks for such a well written piece. We put out Explorer 2D to gauge such interest, and to see how well our monthly updates would continue to suit 2D. So far no problems, in fact I’ll rebuild with the latest now.
We agree that Explorer has wider platform, and wider device, potential than we’re focused on now. The key thing for us is to build something great that people will use every day to keep fit. Our method has been to do so with monthly releases that follow new feedback and inspiration. That is the main reason we’re now on one platform, as well as the fact that we truly love the immersion VR brings and the Quest is the most affordable and capable headset out now.
We do have plans to grow in those directions, which you will start to see soon. We’re also not done with the game or ever will be, and will continue to do both one step at a time.
Meanwhile Facebook is the most devoted to VR research and making it mass market. We believe the Quest will be supported for many years to come, and it makes sense they’d use the same login, which I believe you could make and not use any other Facebook product. Microsoft also uses their universal login for Xbox, and Google for Stadia, presumably to avoid managing a separate account system for their services and devices.
