I'm a gamer, my spouse is a gamer, and we have a Quest in the house because of my spouse's job. We're free to use it to play games or whatever, but we never do. We both tried Beat Saber the day she got the rig, and haven't done anything with it since. That was months ago.
I have a gamer friend with a gamer spouse with multiple VR rigs from his spouse's job, similar situation, job doesn't care if they play with the hardware. He says he played them a bit for a couple months a couple years back, did the very small number of must-play games (mostly just Alyx and SuperHot, I think) and that was it, all of it's sat unused since then.
Maybe we're not representative, but that's four-for-four of not really giving a shit about VR even when we're all gamers and the hardware's free.
- mattl 4y agoWhat's the rig? Is that more than the headset?
- yamtaddle 4y agoIn our case, just the headset. I think my friend has at least two or three, and whatever the "good one" is requires some sensors around the room or something, so there's a bit more to that one.
- mattl 4y agoI played an HTC Vive once, it was fun but it was a lot of stuff to play... I don't have the space for anything like that. Happy with consoles and Steam Deck (mostly in desktop mode) for video games lately.
