I was one of those backers.
We got the headset that we paid for, and we also got the next dev headset after that for free. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth from it.
I then switched for a Vive for my first retail headset, but I've since switched to Quest 2. Even though it shouldn't be better, the wireless functionality and ability to play games without a computer make it better than the original Vive. I'll likely be upgrading to whatever is next in the Oculus lineup.
I backed VR because I've always loved the idea of VR and AR, and desperately wanted it to take off. Palmer and Carmack did a great job of making that happen, and even though I don't like Palmer's politics, I'm very thankful that he got this ball rolling. If I had only gotten that first headset, I'd still feel like I totally got my money's worth. But the continued and increased presence of VR is the real payout for me.
My wife also has a Quest 2 now and we often play multiplayer games together, like Walkabout Minigolf. It's just amazing.
