> I think that you have a stereotypical hardcore gamer in mind, not the silent majority of people who have 8 games in their Steam library which they play occasionally on their laptops
I think you are making some assumptions. People have been downplaying PC gamers as a minority but we can look at Steam hardware surveys. Also the numbers don't lie when you look at games like league of Legends. League's player count and also the eSport events and viewer counts shows how big this PC player base is. It has been growing year after year.
People have just make assumptions that mom's playing casual games online counts as the majority. BUT the vast majority of casuals moved to mobile years ago. This analysis is just really missing the current picture.

60% of Steam Users use NVIDIA cards and dedicated chips
Look at the cards and you will see that the VAST Majority of Steam users have video cards or dedicated video for their laptops. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/ http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/
VR gaming is kind of like motion controls. Cool idea that is fun for a bit but can be exhausting for long term use. Best thing for VR right now is consuming media or for short special experiences.
- cma 10y agoDedicated video on laptops basically doesn't work for VR unless it is the NVidia 1000 series, or a select few other models, because of power saving features that routed even dedicated video through the igpu and added latency.
