I mean I don't think you hate VR but I do think you're a bit too down on it, it already is glorious and just needs even more glorious content like Half-Life: Alyx and Medal of Honor VR and Sniper Elite VR and all kinds of other games that are out or coming soon and not so soon by indies and big studios alike to get more people onboard, not just in 5 or 10 years. The hardware's already pretty mature and realistically designed as an actual robust product line rather than just tech thrown at a wall to see what sticks (ie body tracking, 360 treadmills, motion shoes, smellovision and whatever other companies are throwing which will not easily take off for the average consumer whether we discuss the now or the future as the cost and ease of use for some of this will not really change that much or offer that much compared to the current head and hand tracking and what can be extrapolated from it - though maybe they can work for location VR experiences to be even more compelling in the future) and games already can be pretty polished from people who understand the medium. And Valve isn't even pushing people to buy the Index with the game given the full support for anything, from cheap WMR products to the medium cost Oculus, which is pretty fucking cool (Oculus make their own funded games exclusives). And I feel it's obvious they do it because they're interested in VR, not just to cash grab, which is gonna be the purpose of any company in this capitalist world anyway. But yeah, they could have handled it in way worse ways and people couldn't complain too much, it's their own platform, their own game, but they didn't.
