Honestly, the gaming world is full of really bitter people and VR is an easy target because a lot of people feel left out for one reason or another.

I despise the reception people are putting against the platform in general. It clearly is not for everyone and on the PC side of things it takes work to get it where it needs to be.

Fallout 4 is a good example, it’s not as easy as people seem to think to make things function well in VR. For a major company to take it on and probably at a fairly substantial financial loss and to get treated that way is baffling.

I was watching the reaction for DOOM VFR and was fairly disappointed in the gaming community for giving such harsh feedback for stylistic things or for functionality the game made clear it would not have. (Oculus is a good example.)

Not much can be done and it is sad.
If VR does die at some point it will be more because of the people who needlessly feel they have to rip apart everything they don’t understand than the tech itself.

Although, I am a passionate gamer so perhaps I am missing something that someone who is more casual about things experiences. Getting my VR legs or having to tweak things doesn’t bother me very much in general. I also enjoy testing things to see what I can or can’t do or to improve my experience in some way.

So perhaps that plug and play experience really is huge for their immersion I don’t know.

For me, it’s all about experiencing worlds I love in a way that can’t possibly be compared to sitting at a PC on a monitor.
However, the world isn’t made for people like me, it is made for those who want to push money forward and have an experience thrust at them with little to no effort.

To those people I say, …try PSVR and go away.
