There's a saying, if you don't believe in VR, you haven't played Half Life: Alyx.

Joking aside, I do think gaming is important to bootstrap VR. Once it's cheap enough and many people have it, it will be much easier to build other things. Personally I think interactive 3D story-telling could be a big one.

I think Alyx has a lot of potential to be great, as do a lot of other games. However, so far I haven't used a headset that's comfortable with high enough fidelity to make me want to play through the game. I agree that 3d story-telling especially with interactivity and even group participation could be huge. An escape room meets It Takes Two meets The Last Of Us seems like it could be awesome.
