Except, video game developers have had like ten years to figure out a VR "killer app" game. Even Valve failed. VR just isn't a significant enough increase in experience for the vast vast VAST majority of games to justify the annoyance of having a mask on, let alone the price. If you are super into simulators, then you have some incredible options, but otherwise it's just a bunch of beat saber clones and mediocre shooters.

VR is a peripheral, not a console. Very few people would choose a VR Magic game over Magic the gathering arena.




It’s not that they can’t figure it out I think, it’s that it’s too hard and too limited of a market to justify the expense to build anything cool.

Given enough time and adoption I believe it will happen
