I liked it. Unfortunately aside from valve, no serious studio has put any resources into making a good vr game.

Sitting games could be big on vr. Flight/space sims could be awesome.

The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn't even a VR game.

Can't you already fly with VR in MS flight sim?
Also I believe Asseto has VR support.

Yeah you can. Although it's hard on the computer, and depending on the type of plane, it might not be really playable in terms of controls (an airliner for instance)

Games like Elite Dangerous or Star Wars Squadron are really fun in VR though

I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides "do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed." And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

VR is too expensive and too rich white boy centric. Let me tell you something; if your business is gaming and the teenager children in China and India can't afford it, your market will NEVER be able to compete with mobile gaming and PC (M&K) gaming
