Developers speaking to the Game Developers Collective seem to think the VR games market has hit a roadblock, even with this year's launch of the Apple Vision Pro.
Whether it is closed source or not is irrelevant to this discussion. The fact of the matter is that VR offers a different gaming experience, one that has the opportunity to provide real exercise for the player.
Yeah I used to have an old Windows MR headset until it stopped working (and I switched to linux)
It was a lot of fun, and I do miss beat saber.
But I’m not going to spend a thousand dollars on an outdated index, or put facebook spyware on my face. If Valve or some other company comes out with something modern without proprietary bs, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
I still cannot fathom how anyone justifies paying so much for phones. My most recent one was a Pixel 4A, £100. I’ve not seen anything exciting in a smartphone in a decade or more.
Unlike 3d tvs it actually has something to offer. I wouldn’t call it a gimmick, but it definitely has a price barrier that is hard to swallow.
A slightly more useful gimmick.
It’s all closed source trash. No one wants to get stuck with a $500 paperweight if meta decides to alter the deal further.

Yup and hopefully untethered. The thought of being attached by a cord to my most expensive appliance would never let me be fully immersed
They’re like $300 now. Cheaper than a console, 1/3 the cost of an iPhone, 1/6 the cost of a gaming laptop…

Generally for gaming. It’s like PCs, you can totally get by with a 100 dollar second hand computer… unless you want to play a game made this year.
Typing this on a 120hz 4k gaming phone.
Same! Typing this on a cheap as dirt android 😁
