Survey says half of developers consider VR market on decline or stagnation
Developers speaking to the Game Developers Collective seem to think the VR games market has hit a roadblock, even with this year's launch of the Apple Vision Pro.

It's only that way because developers don't seem to be, you know... Developing shit for it.
Like, I love a lot of what's available and the tech itself is great; but there is no killer app. There is next to nothing but novelty bullshit being made. Even if Meta wasn't the one with the cheapest headset, people wouldn't necessarily be buying into VR because there's not really much to do with it yet.
One Half-Life game, a chatroom, and a bitching rythym game isn't enough.

It’s killer app to me is sim racing but it requires too much additional investment
-
What, like a wheel and some pedals? Or would you go full-on actual car stuff? I met a guy once who turned the entire back half of his trailer into a plane cockpit for his flight sims. Had actual instruments and switches and stuff. I'm sure with what it had to cost, he could have just bought a real plane. lol
-
The cheapest plane I'd feel comfortable flying my family around in goes for about $100k, and you'd better be able to pay ~$5k a year on average for upkeep.
Meanwhile an instrument six pack is cheap buying it off someone that's upgrading their cockpit.
-
Well really that’s where I’d say it’s up to you, the quasi real cockpit would not be worth it but most “entry level” sit down rigs and a wheel cost about $4-500 all in
