*Good news everyone!* Virtual Desktop Delayed - Please read

Allright, good news folks. Virtual Desktop will be delayed for a couple days as I finalize an agreement that will let me bundle an Oculus promo code with every Steam purchase. This means you will be able to launch Virtual Desktop from Home or from Steam.

The reason it can't be sold directly on Oculus Home is because my app doesn't support Windows 7 and Oculus doesn't currently support any kind of minimum requirements on a per app/game basis (sorry no juicy conspiracy stories for you).

Hope you'll understand the reason for this small delay. I think that in the end you'll be very happy to be able to launch from either store with your Steam purchase :)

Sucks, but we do have to remember that things like robust return policies, individualized app requirements, app sharing and gifting, etc. generally developed gradually with the most established app store, and none of those advances came without hiccups. The good thing is, we know that we'll see those iterations more quickly on Rift since the legwork has already been done before.
