Gamespot has an article that suggests that -despite a number of new VR
titles being released in 2024- it feels like something of a swansong
for the platform, with general excitement over the technology
dwindling amongst users and fans.*
 
Apparently, even John Carmack --Mr. Doom and more recently, Mr. Oculus
himself-- thinks VR will never be more than a 'boutique niche' on PC.*
He still believes that VR --as a stand-alone platform, like Meta's
headset-- still has legs, but as part of the PC ecosystem, Carmack
doesn't believe it will ever become a significant leader of games.
It'll be just one of those funny devices only a tiny handful of
players have connected to their PCs, like steering wheels or four
monitors; a niche that can be safely ignored by most developers.
 
And it's difficult to argue that fact, if only because stand-alone VR
compared to PC VR is basically the VR equivalent of mobile games
versus PC. The former is a lot less expensive and more accessible, and
the games tend to be simpler and cheaper. As Carmack pointed out,
"Beat Sabre" beat the pants off of "Half Life: Alyx" when it came to
sales.
 
I'm still not sure even stand-alone VR has a long future --it still
feels very gimmicky and doesn't solve any problems-- but it will
probably outlast PC-based VR.

Now in  3d.

Won't take off until there are peripherals. The peripherals are probably
coming.

Otherwise, like 3d movies, 2d visuals are good enough.

Even porn needs a proper use case and a solvable problem.
