Many companies were busy developing a Chinese themed game with the aim for a good placement.
There were many mobile games, less PC games, and no VR games.
The main reason being three months was too short of a time frame to develop a VR game. Even companies like Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Zen Entertainment with inside knowledge only had a bit over a month of extra time.
It was too difficult to develop a large VR game in this time span, one might even say impossible.
Moreover, the main reason for the games was to please the judges, and there was no reason to spend a lot of money to develop a game just to do that. If neither the judges or players liked it, it would be doubly bad.
Therefore, the larger companies decided to make a PC game whereas smaller companies planned to make mobile games.
Many communities of gamers were discussing the matter after catching wind of the news.
