I think you forgot Valve although they don’t seem to follow through with their hardware.

The WMR headsets are all pretty good, but the ecosystem suffers from the typical MSFT, "Oh yeah, we should build one of those too!" dynamic. Pretty good hardware, but a variety of factors which just end up failing to attract people to the platform in the long term. See: Zune.

  WMR is slowly being abandoned by MS. The G2 was a decent attempt, but HP is pulling out too

That’s why I didn’t mention them. They’re like Rolls Royce where they build expensive toys for people with discretionary cash. Most normal people outside of Silicon Valley do not have the resources to justify spending about $3,000 on a complete PCVR setup

  I have the disposable income I cant justify it because I can’t multitask and also I have to also pay for glasses inserts. I want to play a space based VR game but I don’t see one out. I have a stand-alone headset (a oculus quest 2) and I don’t even play it.

    You don't need glass inserts for the Meta Pro, and some other headsets. With PCVR, it is totally possible to multitask. You just have to both able and willing to pay for better systems.

    Tbf the quest pro does exactly that. You can wear it with glasses and it’s designed to let you multitask

    Elite Dangerous and No Man's Sky are both space-based PC VR games, if you're still looking around for one. Your quest 2 might be able to stream them from a PC. My eyesight is _just_ able to play without glasses inserts, so I marginally feel your pain. I wish I could use my glasses. Maybe it's time I pulled out contacts again.

      Saw them both but they aren't worth it. Forgot to mention.

        What are you looking for in a space game? I also know that Overload (Descent clone) has a VR mode.

        Overload sounds cool. I should check it out. Maybe since no man’s sky has been updated I will check it out again. I really want a serious FPS with spaceships .
