What's rotating the camera got to do with it???? And you can do that now...and even when you couldn't, neither could anyone else...so...as for the shifter, not really sure why they don't allow that, but again, that isn't really a big thing.....
I just don't see them blocking vr from being allowed to be used in online...as I said, your more likely to be faster with a wheel than a controller, than with a br headset instead of a TV.....also, they know being able to use it online is going to be a big game changer for the people still trying to decide whether to get the headset or not...what better way to showcase it ...also. It'll mean that they can use VR headsets for the next gran turismo world cup...what better way for competitors to compete, than with top end wheel and psvr2.....
