As an anecdote it kept me from VR for a little over a year. Getting a card was pretty annoying, and when it came to the scalping like price increases it was a social dynamic I choose to not participate in.

Though afterwards what got me to uninstall everything was a combination of Facebook/Oculus being untrustable and the low playerbase/match making problem in Echo Arena.

Yeah, I remember setting a SlickDeals alert for a "Titan Xp" and watching inventory disappear because I didn't get to their site within 2 mins.

My wife and I waited until just now to buy our first truly VR capable card, mainly due to inflated GPU prices. I feel like waiting was ultimately the better choice because the capable cards are way better and cheaper now, but I definitely would have bought into the VR market if not for []Crypto .
