    For most of my life VR has been, ‘VR is a great way to experience shitty games and you just have to pay a grand or more for this interactive tummy ache, and your unit may not be supported next year! Buy!’

    I’m going to hold out until I can pick up one of these at the pawn shop for a bill.

      I got an Index for cheap last year and was very excited to play a number of my favorite games with optional VR mode. Turns out:

      1. the Index ecosystem is more accessible than expected.

      2. the games I was looking forward to all played like ass and made VR seem like a stupid gimmick.

      3. In a desperate move that felt like sunk cost fallacy, I tried several VR-only games, and got TOTALLY hooked on modded Beatsaber. This itself made the buy-in worth it.
