I think this is a smart move on the developer's part. I'm betting sales will double, of not triple just by dropping the VR headset requirement.
There's no question that Star Trek: Bridge Crew benefits from VR -- it helps fulfill that fantasy of helming a starship. Most people don't have the VR headset you need to play the game, however, which makes gathering a crew rather difficult. Red Storm and Ubisoft's solution? Make the game playable for everyone.
