Good lord, is PSVR2 that much of a dead platform? I can't imagine another reason why Take-Two of all companies would avoid a PlayStation platform. This would've been a HUGE boost that it could've used. Aside from Half-Life: Alyx. Hopefully a port eventually still happens.
Many VR developers consistently claim that psvr 2 versions of their games significantly outsell the quest versions. Newer storefront means less competition and that actually makes it the most attractive option. Like the early days of indies on the switch eshop.
Sounds like a really odd genre to port to VR. I wouldn't say immersion is the first word that comes to mind when I think turn-based strategy, I can't see much of an advantage there over just using your monitor.
