The bombshell just dropped: Downpour Interactive is pulling the plug on Onward VR, and the community is in absolute meltdown. On the Avonetics forums, the virtual battlefield is split. One side mourns the death of the most iconic military sim in VR, a game they poured thousands of hours into mastering. The other side is crying betrayal, pointing fingers directly at the developers for what they call the ultimate cash-grab. Remember the infamous graphical 'downgrade' for the Quest launch? Fans haven't forgotten, screaming that DPI sacrificed the game’s soul for Meta’s mass-market millions, only to abandon it years later. Is this the inevitable result of Meta's iron grip on the market? With Onward left in the dust, players are asking if Contractors will now reign supreme or if this is a dark omen for the future of all indie VR development. We're digging through the explosive Avonetics threads to expose every angle of this shocking story. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
