It's that time of year again,sapphix erotice lesbians when people who have never dribbled a basketball suddenly start foaming at the mouth with NCAA basketball bracket fever, and now they can obsess over the game in virtual reality as well.
For the second year in a row, the NCAA has teamed up with Oculus to offer the free NCAA March Madness Liveapp, which attempts to immerse users in the excitement of the annual college hoops tournament.
SEE ALSO: Super Bowl LI was a bad moment for VRBut like so many other sports apps being offered for Samsung Gear VR users via Oculus app, for some reason, they decided to skip offering a version of the app for the people who dropped hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of dollars more to set up higher end Oculus Rift systems.
Why are they doing this?
One guess is that, because so many Gear VR devices have been sold (about 5 million according to Samsung) compared to higher-end systems like the Rift (Oculus hasn't released its numbers, but Rift sales are estimated to be significantly lower), some VR app producers are playing to a supposedly larger audience by focusing on the Gear VR.

That strategy might make sense if VR were already an established platform, with clear trend lines and user habits, but it isn't. So, once again, the most passionate VR users (who, arguably, invested in Oculus' Rift) are being asked to either scale down to a Gear VR (assuming they also have a Samsung smartphone) or simply skip the NCAA VR experience altogether.
And that's a shame, because the app is pretty well produced. Using the app you can watch up to six live games in VR, customize certain aspects of the experience to match your team preferences and keep track of team stats as well as the tournament brackets as they change leading up to the championship.
Users will be able to start watching games on March 23, with in-app purchases of $1.99 per game for a single camera view or $2.99 per game for a multi-angle, fully produced live VR game viewing experience ($7.99 will get you all six games in the series).

Credit: Mashable Most of these live VR experiences (from other producers and apps) through mobile devices don't reveal specific event user numbers, so it's hard to determine just how wise it is to leave out the passionate Rift user base to focus only on mobile VR users in this case.
And in case there was any doubt about this platform "rift," it turns out that the majority of comments on the Oculus blog announcing the Gear VR app on Tuesday were, as of this writing, from salty Rift users wondering why they've been left out.
It's a good question.

For now, Rift-using VR lovers will just have to watch March Madness the old fashioned way: through a TV or computer screen, like everybody else. Snooze.
