Greedy paywalls finally caught up with that guy selling unauthorized software upgrades. Luke Ross confirmed his unofficial Cyberpunk 2077 headset project got nuked after CD Projekt RED's legal teams intervened. He spoke with executives who clarified that no official virtual reality port exists in production, meaning this removal happened purely over copyright enforcement rather than clearing space for an internal product.
The creator slammed the corporate decision, claiming it harms players, but internet observers barely blinked. Most users get that charging money for unlicensed modifications inevitably summons cease-and-desist letters. The developers actively encourage free community content, evident from the massive scene on Nexus, yet they draw the line when third parties profit from using their intellectual property without permission.
Ignoring the obvious legal danger, Ross immediately pivoted to selling a similar add-on for Baldur's Gate 3. This new tool converts the isometric camera for headset use, yet it remains locked behind a subscription fee. That strategy virtually guarantees Wizards of the Coast will send legal teams knocking soon, given the pattern here.
The broader virtual reality sector took a massive beating simultaneously. Meta shuttered Sanzaru Games, Twisted Pixel, and Armature Studio while slashing staff at Camouflaj. That particular cut resulted in the cancellation of the Batman: Arkham Shadow sequel, signaling a bleak future for high-budget immersive gaming projects under that umbrella.
