Does anyone in the industry care about VR gaming right now?

I don't see people buying headsets, I don't see VR features in new major games, it's just not a thing outside of a probably shrinking niche.

You’re not looking very hard then because there are loads of new games released both with VR support and also exclusively for devices like the Oculus Quest.

What we’ve seen less of is AAA games bolt on VR support as an afterthought - and the reason for that is because it’s almost always a terrible way to play a game that was originally designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse, or traditional game controller.
