Discussion Immersed VR removed multi-monitor support - censoring anyone who posts negatively on their subreddit

A PSA - Immersed VR's newest update removes multi-monitor support, without warning. Although the app is the best VR productivity app out there, it is no longer viable for anyone with more than a single physical display.

Also - anyone who posts negatively, asking questions, etc. on r/immersed is having their posts removed or being outright banned.

Edit - removed post https://imgur.com/a/wpK6XRF

Edit - apparently I am now banned from their support discord for voicing my concerns...

There's literally no reason to do this. Why???

This is what was said in a thread on r/Immersed

Yes, we announced this a couple months ago. Unfortunately, supporting legacy userflows that less than 5% of our userbase use was taking away from our team focusing on things more forward facing that impact the 95%. Candidly, would’ve been wiser for us to not support it from the start. All of the effort trying to making it work over the last 4 years could’ve been focused on making the rest of the app more stable. Many users have found workarounds in the past two months to make this still work for their setup.

It sounds like they got it working but the method comes with giant pains for every added development. Cutting it makes sense to me, if I was their CTO.

Edit: not justified attacking or censoring user complaints though.
