What we think about it:
HobbesNJ - "Paywalled article."
totesnotdog - "Just played MS flight sim last night for a few hours in VR. Wish somebody had told me VR died 😔"
5x4j7h3 - "The writers obviously aren’t in to sim racing and flying. VR is alive and well in that space. It’s a game changer from using screens!"
jjj49er - "I wish someone would have told me my mom died."
booga_booga_partyguy - "The thing with VR is that it was always going to be a niche thing. It is purely an experiential experience, and that limits its usage - both for entertainment and practical purposes - severely."
DarthBuzzard - "It would help if you actually read what I wrote. Because I very literally talk about non-gaming uses as well before talking about my personal usage."
DarthBuzzard - ""Outside of gaming, it has zero use in my life." is what you said. Yet it would seem out of character for the majority of today's VR userbase."
booga_booga_partyguy - ""Outside of gaming, it has zero use in my life." is what you said. Yet it would seem out of character for the majority of today's VR userbase."
DarthBuzzard - "My point was about how people use VR, which is why I mention that your usage is not typical."
booga_booga_partyguy - "My point was about how people use VR, which is why I mention that your usage is not typical."
DarthBuzzard - "And again, pretending my first paragraph doesn't actually mean I didn't type it."
travelinlighttoparad - "That's all irrelevent to this discussion."
booga_booga_partyguy - "Only one of them was relevant in my comment, because my comment was talking about how your experience relates to the wider VR community."
BlueLightStruct - "Copium."
TheVideoHouse - "someone's cranky"
elister - "Must have apps/games for VR still haven't arrived. I was expecting classic 90s FPS games like Quake or Descent to be ported over and upscaled to 1080p, but that never happened. Then I waited for games like Minecraft, Second Life, Roblox to be ported and that didnt happen (unless you had a Samsung Gear and Galaxy Phone). Now Quest is getting Roblox, so thats something that would get my kid interested in one, but thats it. 7 years after the Oculus Rift, theres maybe 8 different headsets, all with different standards and no must have apps."
tektite - "Quake and a bunch of other FPS are ported to Quest by Dr Beef"
b_a_t_m_4_n - "I wouldn't say dead. It's just that now the hysteria has died down it's becoming clear that it's a niche display technology that has it's uses but is never going to be ubiquitous."
PrairieCanadian - "It's super popular everywhere. People use it with their 3D TVs that everyone also has."
