People forget that many genres of games will never make it to VR in any meaningful way. Even in a far-future holodeck scenario, strategy games don't change a whole lot.
But it's true that VR is an immersive experience which I can't vicariously participate in the same way I can watch someone playing Hearthstone now. In many ways VR games are likely to remain largely unsuitable for streaming.

Imagine having a virtual giant globe that you can arbitrarily turn and zoom as the main interface. Even the limited number of platformers with a third-person view on the Oculus Rift hardware are quite successful, since the false depth perception helps with fine control.
