Hi Brad, Question if you could share where/what reputable vendors provide prescription lenses for PSVR2? I just got mine and new to VR. If there are known vendors in that space, it'd be great to know what names are trusted. Thank you

Not because of the price (which I think is high for it’s current state), game performance or because the Kraken is enraged by their hubris (the devs put out a video on how they eliminated the weird physics bugs of 1), but because of the EULA. There are SEVERAL paragraphs regarding in game currency and purchases, as well as language that basically says ‘you can’t receive any money whatsoever for making a mod and all your mods belong to us.’ I know this language has increasingly become normalized in the industry, but given the roots of the game, I find it incredibly disheartening and causes me to be suspicious of the future direction of the game. I am hoping this is only to appease legal and the publisher, but after what Blood Bowl 3 ended up being and publishers trying to monetize mods for almost a decade, I can’t say I have much hope.
