WHY hasn't this been done yet?!

It would fit so well! Either make it its own standalone thing or make it an addition to EVE with VR. Make it a thing we could do in our capsuleer quarters, even.

I've always thought this would make a better mobile game, the way it is described it could quite easily be turned into a ccg style game. making it VR would be really cool, but would also limit their player base a LOT (most people have smart phones, far fewer people have VR devices, which IMO is why I don't have any high expectations that valkyrie will be anything more than a gimmick)

a CCG on the other hand would be awesome, especially if they did find a way to tie it to the api, have the booster packs purchasable through "neo-plex" and players could bet on games with isk. make the matchmaking random, and have upper limits on how much could be bet. in order to limit the ability to use it for RMT laundering.

maybe take a skim off the top in order to introduce a much needed isk sink into the economy and i'm sold.

Mind Clash is an amazing concept. Not sure how a playable game could be designed for it. But could be really cool.

VR is useless. The can spend better time in gameplay than in gimmick like Bjorn says

Great idea. There are a few games out there that run on a non-VR platform but have VR support. This would be a great way to not to limit the user base. Personally I don't own VR however I can't deny I wouldn't be tempted to pick one up if Mind Clash were 'real'.

I could see a CCG to try to compete with Hearthstone, too. I might actually play that if its any good.
