I dont think VR has gone how many predicted. I suppose it depends on whose metric you use as to whether you would deem it a flop or something else. Tbh I think analysts were full of crap and way off the mark, as they often are.

It’s a platform that is doing ok, but it’s far from taking over and probably pointless predicting when that might be - many many years(/decades). I dont think Zuck standing in front of the Eiffel Tower is selling anything to anyone either! Looks worse than the wii era, and the guy is creepy af.

If they want to sell the thing, gamers are sold on games. And the amount of stand out titles are slim. Companies dont want to develop on a platform with lower sales. Thats the catch 22 right there.

Im sure Alyx was responsible for plenty of people taking the dive into VR. And Valve has said many times it was working on 3 titles for VR (in its own very slow pace.) I wouldnt be surprised if the next title comes around the launch of its next HMD. But beyond the bump that’ll bring, I see VR ticking along as it is now for some time.

So it could be worse?

>Asus seems to have gone mad, I was already wondering why they priced the 4090 TUF and Strix extremely high, especially when comparing it to the Suprim X, but it seems that they have raised prices across the board.

And thats exactly why I went from a Strix to a Suprim XD
