Looks like poor folks and those from developing countries are going to miss out on this one. If I had $200, the last thing I would buy is a VR Headset. I would buy fruits, beans, vegetables and rice. However, good to hear that HiveFest is going forward in at least one form.
I for one would love to see HiveFest held in Svalbard, the only visa-free place in the world. It would give those that can afford the plane tickets a chance to come regardless of their weak passports or country of origin.
