VRs biggest issue. There's no games. Meta basically killed the segment before it could even get started.
*gestures at all the comments in this thread*
Most are old, from when the Vive and then the Index arrived. They are janky titles or existing games adapted. Alyx was the first real quality game we got.
The rest are locked behind the shitty Quest and PSVR.
There's plenty of silly little experiences, but the amount of actual games with substance is low.
I've seen a couple devs talk about this on their YouTube channels. They call it a chicken and egg problem. It's hard to get funding to develop games for a platform if you don't expect a decent sized audience. And nobody wants to buy hardware if there are no games for it. And it's resource-intensive to port a game to multiple very different pieces of VR hardware.
Hopefully Valve can break through that, because I hate having horrible spyware like the Quest as the industry standard.
It makes sense. But there were studios attempting to make games, until Facebook/Meta snatched them up to build an exclusive platform. Killed VRs momentum.
My Steam library is about 400 games. ~30% of those are exclusively VR titles, 10-15% are pancake with VR support, and less than 5% are VR with desktop support.
The only shortage I see is AAA titles, which I could care less for.
