I have, its still the same games I played like 2-4 years ago now, the only real big change is a lot of games I already own became vr compatible.

I'm sure theres a bunch of small indie games, or racing Sim kind of stuff that got added but just pure quantity isn't what i mean. Otherwise I would just point at the meta quest store and say look how many clones of gorilla tag theres tons of stuff to play.

At one point we had medal of honor making vr games, and there where active lobbies for many games. We had many many growing YouTube channels dedicated around vr that where growing, and now sit stagnent at around 10k views.

If you are looking for a large back catalog of games then sure steam has a ton and many great titles. But they're often much shorter experiences, ot lesser of a game. Thats much different from when theres actual momentum going and there's hype around new releases of games, and people are actually there to make mods or be in lobbies for said games.

I'm not saying this because I'm saying vr sucks or theres only 5 vr games. I'm saying this because I am worried its not going to make a bump like how I wanted. In some other universe the steam frame was sold for 700 USD and everyone rushed to buy one, and devs rushed to make friendslop games for vr and it all kept getting bigger.
