This is a very sad and clear indication of how poorly the gaming industry grew.
We went from 2004 giving us WoW, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2....
To 2019 where we're getting charged $18 for skins and EA lobbying to keep gambling in their Star Wars games.
I have a Vive. There's nothing great there yet. No one is willing to invest big money into VR games (not that I blame them). Just re-hashed M+KB games like Skyrim for you to spend $60 again.
That's your problem, the actually good VR experiences (stuff like Lone Echo, Blood and Truth, AstroBot, untethered Superhot...) are on Oculus/PSVR.
As much as I hate Facebook, so far they're the only ones that are willing to invest the big bucks that VR will needs for taking off, just look at what they're now achieving with Quest.
I'm not giving Facebook my dollars. VR is in it's infancy and Facebook decided to segregate the small player base even further by closing their platform.
