Seems the current decade VR fad is past its prime.
There was never a "prime" in the first place.
VR was, is and always will be a cool gimmick. It can never catch on in the mainstream because of two major things
1) It's expensive and always will be
2) Its use and capabilities are not universal enough.
You always need to design a VR game with the VR im mind from the beginning, trying to hide its limitations behind the gimmicky stuff. VR game will always be cool, but less of a game in general sense.
Plus current generation of VR is badly hurt by monopolization attempts of the VR headset manufacturers.
VR is, after all, just a game displaying device and it should be manufactured and distributed as one. Imagine that every monitor manufacturer, ASUS, LG, Lenovo,..., would make their own games that would only work on their monitors and only with particular hardware. That would, of course, be an outrage and it would splinter the whole gaming industry. And that's exactly how VR market works, right now.
There are "open source" headsets, out there, but the fact that they are advertising it as something to be proud of shows that gaming industry and manufacturers simply took the whole VR business from the wrong end.
And so it remains a gimmick. A cool one, I admit, but it will always remain so.
