I was skeptical too, but Half Life: Alyx sold gangbusters (as was the Valve Index, at a $1,000 price point to boot).

There is clearly demand, but I think we've learned that it's a niche market.

Did you actually play Alyx though? It’s amazing. I think VR will dominate both the consumer and commercial markets as it matures. It will be a defining technology of our lives.

No, but every comment I hear says exactly the same as yours - that it’s phenomenal.

It’s definitely the exception, though. Nothing else comes close, so I’m having difficulty justifying shelling out $1000 on something for a single game, no matter how exceptional.
