Because all they have is a Desktop and they like the game? I mean kinda rethorical question imo. Not everyone can afford VR headset and not everyone will buy that just for some VR p0rn even tho Quest 2 is easy to find for 250-300$ 2nd hand nowadays or 350-400$ new(similar in euro). Its not a ton of money sure, but its not a tiny amount for most people either. On top of that you need a very decent desktop to be able to enjoy the graphics in PCVR as well, otherwise you push all the settings down and its just not the same game. So you might be looking at 500-600$ for a new GPU on top of ~300$ for a headset and if the CPU sucks too much then maybe 300-400$ more towards that direction, because most of the times you will need a motherboard, cooler and maybe a ram upgrade too... Long story short different people, different situations, you can't presume what makes sense to you and your situation has to be the same for everyone else... it really isnt.I still can't fathom how so many people flock to a game whose name is LITERALLY "VR" Hot, and want a desktop mode. It's IN the NAME. I can also bet 200% that the people going as far as to actually fund the game on Patreon, subscribestar and what not are aware of that. If they straight up dropped what little of their barely functional desktop mode there is, I'm sure no more than than 1-3% of people would unsub, if any at all, and guess what, over 95% of the funding they already get is still intact. If people DID unsub, however, it'd be for other reasons altogether for sure.
That being said, I have no qualms with whatever happens, I'm just still following this and truth be told, I don't really know why myself, but the amount of vitriol over Desktop Mode is.. funny, to say the least. There's absolutely other games to play that can accomplish what this does, and better if you want something that plays out of VR, so I return to my initial question:
Why???
People who ask for a 2D/Desktop version of VR games just have never experienced VR.. because if they did then they probably wouldn't be asking for a shittier experience..I still can't fathom how so many people flock to a game whose name is LITERALLY "VR" Hot, and want a desktop mode.

Installed with Rookie, but crashed always at start with Quest 3quest version anyone?
This is a lot, but none of it addresses the important, and definitely not rhetorical point of: There's games that absolutely does what this does, and meant for desktop primarily to begin with. So again I ask, why go to a game made for VR? I would also know all about not having the specs to do this, that or the third whether this be VR, that be high-end gaming, blah blah etc.Because all they have is a Desktop and they like the game?

P.S. arcticmine thank you again for the upload of the beta version!
While true and I understand, this also still doesn't answer my general questions of what does this have that they want desktop support, as opposed to other games that do the same thing, but actually meant for VR? This is the part that really makes no sense to me. On completely serious notes, I'm expecting something niche and particular that this game has, as opposed to otherwise major features (character creation and sex simulation, among others?) that are absolutely long since made possible in other games, that are again, dedicated to desktop (or otherwise, VR is the additional/optional functionality as opposed to the desktop mode being optional/additional.)People who ask for a 2D/Desktop version of VR games just have never experienced VR.. because if they did then they probably wouldn't be asking for a shittier experience..
It's more or less what I already said. They think the VR experience will be basically the same for the Desktop version (because they have never used a proper VR headset). They don't know any better, and think this would be somehow better than the other desktop games I guess (or they just want to play it but don't have the hardware). This is a trend with ALL VR games for some reason. They see it as an unnecessary restriction for requiring a VR headset to play a game (and will argue that it would somehow make more money if they included a desktop mode). They don't see it as a requirement, they want to play it regardless if they own one. They don't really know what they are missing even if they get to play it on desktop since they have no idea what VR is about.While true and I understand, this also still doesn't answer my general questions of what does this have that they want desktop support, as opposed to other games that do the same thing, but actually meant for VR?

Don't get me wrong when I say this because I'm thinking you're absolutely on the money and it's not towards you, but I hate this answer just because it means this sort of thinking can't be squashed unless each individual person actually gets VR and the difference it makes as opposed to playing flat screen/desktop.It's more or less what I already said.
