I tend to agree with Swiss regards the Voting options. Headtracking is gaining popularity and there are various systems available. From a Business and marketing perspective I would imagine that the 'Target Market' and 'share' between the various systems is what would be considered and the wether there would be an impact on sales if a particular segment of that 'market share' was unsupported.
If I were marketing a Global product I would establish what segment of the Target Market has, or intends to 'use', Headtracking and what systems they are currently using. May be only 10% use Headtracking and 2% have FT, 7% NP and 1% Other. On the other hand, the use of 'Headtracking' may account for 67% and FT is 35% of that - I haven't a clue and neither has anyone else on this forum. The simple truth, wether you like it or not, is that FT is well established as an 'alternative'. If there are large numbers of FT users in the Headtracking community, and the use of 'Headtracking' represent a significant section of that target market, could omitting support impact on sales?
My approach would be simple (and would apply to permanent Internet connection DRM if the details had not been made public) - place pre-order - send email to UBI asking for spec/HT support - no response or no support for FT/Other - buy 'appropriate' or 'Cancel Order' giving reasons for!
