Come on man, Why do you keep saying that? Do you WANT VR to die? Or do you just do ZERO research and announce things like "VR died" because you want fake internet point for declaring some psychic BS that doesn't matter to anyone?
VR more or less came out in 1995 with the virtual boy. (maybe earlier) Mario tennis, remember that? That was the beginning of 2 screen, mass deployed console "VR" gaming. It was awful. It was weak and ugly, but it was stable, and 2 screen pseudo "virtual reality" and over time this concept has grown to the point of ONWARD! And yeah, I'm biased, because I am a former champion paintball and airsoft tactical master and this is as close as it gets to those days.
Do you actually WANT game development to go back in time and just F()&&R%*&# suck?!
VR has not died. Because people like ME, and their fans, have, and will, continue to play any and every cutting edge video game experience until we literally have a Holodeck just like the ones depicted in Star Trek. Which is more or less VR. Fantasy. Something else. Something that isn't the grueling nightmare of everyday "employment" or the necessities that afford you an hour or two in another place that is NOT the hellish (or absolutely marvelous) reality that you and I live on a daily basis. It's a video game.
I get it. It rubbed you the wrong way. The whole VR experience. It did not live up to YOUR standards.
I will always support VR. And whatever advancements we make until we ALL have a holodeck...
VR has been available to the masses for 30 years and counting. I would love for you to provide a lucid explanation for why you are asserting to the Onward community why VR has "died" and why it will never make a "comeback" when it has yet failed to impress in the conceptual realms of game development.
So please do explain. And be thorough. Because I am not some teenager spouting off on social media. If you can defend your position, then please do so. And expect an absolutely thorough and complete response. And do us all the courtesy and include any and all statistical data beyond just public Steam charts. No, you need to factor every platform, and every modern system. And link to it. All common facts. Not domb a** attacks on you or me. Just facts.
If you can somehow explain WHY VR is axiomatically "DEAD" and will see no further development... reasonably... then I will gladly concede to YOU being right, and I am wrong. But please bring your "A" game.
I implore you to prove your case, or at least engage in some form of intelligent conversation. I, and the whole world, deserves a perspective free from hate. Where we just DISCUSS this game instead of insulting it, or the entire platform it represents. Just do it the honor instead of giving every current game developer another reason to give up and let their passion, industry, and escapism die.
Or... you can always face me on the battle grounds. I play every night from about 7 to 9 PM MST most days a week. It's a game. I don't promise anything. But if you really want to talk, and play, and see eye to eye, then join me in a game. I play mercenary because I am trying to understand this move from the devs. This is a pretty flawed game mode, even to a moderate game developer. But I am growing to respect the flaws.
You have the time and day. My screen name is the same as you see here. no way to mistake me.
I hereby challenge thee, @tenko.
And I implore the whole world, and Onward community to film it, record it, share it, and let me die on my hill...
Let's kick ass together. You and me. What do you say?
Weak.
Wouldn't your little tantrums make more sense on truth social with all the other completely made up bullsh*t?
You're such a level 1 troll Tenko. That will never change so long as you keep spitting garbage out with zero proof of anything. VR is still here. Keep asserting it is dead. Maybe it will just magically happen if you try hard enough.
Or you could just keep doing what you always do. Throw out some meaningless, witless retort and blow your squid ink all over the place while you run for the hills and hide behind the wall of internet obscurity.
Hell, while you're at it, give a link to anything at all that suggests I have ever been on reddit. Can't, can you? Or wont. Whatever words you want to use to justify the next pointless response (if any) that completely dodges your inability to support your claims.
I don't ask much of you Tenko. A simple, credible link to anything supporting your claim that "VR is dead" and I will gladly concede to your being right. As of yet, I have seen no such reports from any major player in the VR landscape.
Google is your friend redditor.

So learning expert Guy Boulet... writes a blog article... and you are convinced VR is dead.
Who is he connected to that would lead you to put all your chips on this table?
The article being over a year old is nothing particularly special except that it illustrates that calling something out in the past, and seeing it materialize in some distant eventuality, does not make you Nostradamus. I don't doubt VR will go away at some point. But as of yet, the big players have not announced the termination of development and support of the platform.
Where Guy and you both have a point is the Fad concept. That is too easy to group into, and hard to refute for anything. Even Doge coin is a fad, but look at the holdings. Still, that thing will never be used in real life. There's me reaching for fake internet points.
I see nothing in this article, or the one below it, that substantiates your claim. It's just someone who feels the way you do who happened to write about it on his unrealetd to VR blog.
But in all seriousness, Tenko. Thanks for the link, even if I don't think it supports your claim. I legitimately look for credible sources on the financing circle in the VR landscape. I have a few bets in that arena.
