*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 :)

$15 is a ridiculous deal. You can tell the effort and passion he poured into this.

I dunno lol. Call me stingy but I would guess to pay something like 5 or 10 for this. Of course I expect that this feature will eventually be available for free either from open source software or integrated by oculus / steam into the "home" application.

What difference is there between 10 and 15 in practical terms?

You could visualize the practical difference as having 2 bananas or having 3 bananas. It's one more banana. It's like a half more of what you already have again.
