    HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.

    The porn was fun though.

      I liked it. Unfortunately aside from valve, no serious studio has put any resources into making a good vr game.

      Sitting games could be big on vr. Flight/space sims could be awesome.

        VR is too expensive and too rich white boy centric. Let me tell you something; if your business is gaming and the teenager children in China and India can’t afford it, your market will NEVER be able to compete with mobile gaming and PC (M&K) gaming
