Beat Games will join Oculus Studios and continue to work on Beat Saber across all currently supported platforms. Quote As for modding, which is huge in the Beat Saber community for adding new music and challenges, Facebook plans to maintain support — up to a point. Verdu writes, “We understand and appreciate the value that modding brings to Beat Saber when done so legally and within our policies.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Modding is what makes this game really shine. There are a ton of good maps out there, almost all of them on songs that no copyright holder sees a dime for. Hard to imagine that survives this.

TwinIon Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 With a bunch of Facebook's acquisitions or exclusivity deals, I've been happy about them, because it meant funding in a space where it's difficult to turn a profit. These guys were some of the very few VR devs that were making money, so it's kind of a bummer that even they can't escape the ravenous maw of the tech giants.
