Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it?

VRs biggest issue. There's no games. Meta basically killed the segment before it could even get started.
I’ve seen a couple devs talk about in on their YouTube channels. They call it a chicken and egg problem. It’s hard to develop for a platform if you don’t expect a decent sized audience. And nobody wants to buy hardware if there are no games for it.
Hopefully Valve can break through that, because I hate having horrible spyware like the Quest as the industry standard.
It makes sense. But there were studios attempting to make games, until Facebook/Meta snatched them up to build an exclusive platform. Killed VRs momentum.
My Steam library is about 400 games. ~30% of those are exclusively VR titles, 10-15% are pancake with VR support, and less than 5% are VR with desktop support.
The only shortage I see is AAA titles, which I could care less for.

Most are old, when the Vive and then the Index arrived. Lots are janky old VR titles. Alyx is the first real game we got. The rest are locked behind the shitty Quest and PSVR. There's plenty of silly little experiences, but the amount of actual games with substance is low.
