We really appreciate your support of the game, and that of everyone who has bought the game thus far. It’s because of that support, as well as to fulfill the promise of Early Access, that we are making Reborn a free update for everyone who already owns the base Orbus game.
At the same time, a unique opportunity was presented to us by Oculus to bring Reborn to the Quest, and as part of the arrangement we are able to offer it as a cross-buy for Rift and Quest with a single purchase.
Unfortunately, there is nothing like that in place for Steam, and it is not possible for us to offer to give a free copy of the game on Rift/Quest to everyone who purchased it on Steam previously.
My hope is that the community can understand that, and if you are excited about the game on Quest, we’re doing our best with Reborn and the Quest port to make it worth another purchase if you’re currently a Steam user.
The other side of this equation has also popped up from time to time, in the form of Oculus Home purchasers wanting to get it on Steam because they bought a new headset (Pixmax or Windows MR), and I’m sure that will be happening once the Index and knuckles come out; our answer will be the same at that time as well.
Hope that helps clarify.
