Yes - because the future of gaming is probably VR spaces so games on a 2D screen will become nostalgic to an extent.
The nostalgia may be loading up a space with a virtual pc and playing an old game on a mouse and keyboard or controller.
VR headsets aren't yet there but but when they're light weight and high definition enough, it may make more sense to play a game on a virtual screen which can be 40 inches or room scale, than your desktop. If I could see my hands and the mouse and keyboard I'd probably already be doing it. It already works with virtual desktop and controller based games.
People have a hard time owning a house and you expect the gaming setup that requires a whole room to become mainstream?
That's assuming you will need the whole room. There's plenty of efforts into making room scale viable in smaller spaces.
agreed except the virtual apps wont have to be limited to a virtual screen.
