Because it's fairly obvious now that Samsung or Oculus fronted the cash for the AC/DC license in exchange for a period of exclusivity.

Why a Gear VR release and not a full Android release then? It's essentially the same game code with the VR presentation layer stacked on top.

You're overthinking it. To develop a Gear VR version, they'd need a base Android version, as well as the necessary shared code for iOS and PC versions, not to mention consoles. It makes no sense for them to release a VR version of the game before a non-VR version, unless there was some kind of deal involved that gives that platform a 6-month head start on everyone else.

So if this is still due to come out on other platforms by the end of fall (Autumn if you speak proper English 
) that would be only a couple of months, December 20th as Winter begins 21st right? Day one PC release would make a nice Christmas present

wasn't there a X-MAS '12 days (or something) til XMAS' once? I wonder if this will be something like that.

12 Days of Xmas? Yeah, that's become legend around here. More like 12 days of inaccuracies.

What year? Playstation Network and XBox Live take forever to approve games. The WiiU version of TPA only took four years to come out. Plus it seems that FarSight is following the same broken business template they followed for TPA-release and rarely, if ever, fix.
I don't think we'll see STPA on any other platforms until the last pack of TPA season 6-and only if it is the final pack for it. Because something's got to give.
We could get it on PC by then. The Steam releases of The Pinball Arcade tables tend to come around the same time as the iOS/Android versions (give or take due to some issues). I don't see why PC can't be the first new platform choice for Stern Pinball Arcade.

A hypothetical reason: if Stern doesn't want people using the PC version for cabinet setups over buying a real Stern machine. I have no idea if that's actually something that would happen, but presumably Stern's marketing research does.

whoever in marketing researched this is a complete moron. Cab users just don't have the space or money to buy real pinball machines. Every pinhead who does owns multiple pins beside his virtual pincab. In nine out of ten cases those lucky people seek a real version of a virtual pin they really like.
I based this on absolutely nothing.
