Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

    Because an FPS avatar is the body many people are most used to inhabiting in game worlds.

    If you want people to feel immersed in an environment, you have to give them the virtual body they’re used to.

    Like imagine you’re playing Battlefield 5, and then UFOs land and you go on a big space adventure. If you’re not still able to pull out that tommy gun and fire rounds the same way, your body feels different. It doesn’t feel like you’re there.

    FPS is the biggest genre with the most resources in it. That makes it a standard for virtual environments everywhere.
