In fact, we already get almost all top studios and a lot of independents who told us it is great as the understand the benefit to be all time upgraded. They don't want to buy products that become obsolete after a few months.
As you said ;) we will see... soon!

No need going to court, (1) we can remotely disable the devices, (2) models with no history of payout will have to give a guaranty that cover most of the cost, (3) on the total number if it happens it will be part of losses that occurs in many businesses.

2 to 5 years are you killing
cameras after 2 years will be just good for museum! It will change so fast in VR technology, and it is not about fixing a firmware! We will change cameras at least once a year, maybe even twice the first year.

On our point of view, VR in livecam shouldn't be a segment it is an additional and optional output on the side of the standard stream that should remain. If adoption from top models is good then other will follow, users will get used and we know it is a very emotional content, therefore we think retention will be higher for whose who will try a good VR headset (such new Oculus).
Let see what it will look like in a year from now!
