Sorry to say but you can play Neos and Chillout without VR. Source? Just simply check the steam page of both...

I can only talk about neos, most players play in VR yes. (Source from the API directly)

For Chillout I don't know how to check this infromation

I mean yes but its not the only selling point of Neos. In the difference you have stuff like:

- real time world creation and collaboration while being in game (no external unity editor) including a node scripting system

- user hosting session (instead of full server hosting) at the cost of the user

- inventory system from which you can save/spawn from any world (this actually have a limit in size, 1Gb for the free account)

- mods are well more accepted (maybe for now because it could change like we see with vrc) and more that i forgot.

Note: I'm a regular Neos user, I'm not trying to sell the game there is stuff who are annoying (like the game is not really optimized compared to vrc).

And for the subject of crypto the community is actually really divided about it while is not really useful for now...

Funny that in the alternative section they dont talk about VR alternatives, who is what facebook (or meta if you prefer) is going for...

About metaverse i often see people here talk about vrc (vrchat) here but there also some open-source like the fork of High Fidelity (Vircadia) that who are more near of what facebook is doing. But there is not much community on it last time i checked, i need to check it again tho. Today iv stop and move around NeosVR who is already proposing many thing that facebook whant to do and yes i know its not open source.

Also i didnt do much research on open-source VR alternative so if you know some more i will happy to know them.
