I remember covering Ark: Survival Evolved’s reveal all the way back in 2015 with some cynicism. The game itself looked great; a Jurassic Park adventure for the Minecraft-era, but developer Studio Wildcard’s mention of VR support on both PC and PS4 seemed a promise too far.

Justin Roiland and Tanya Watson founding Squanch Games together may be the best thing to happen to people that like laughing in VR since Butts: The VR Experience from Tyler Hurd.
