Well, who could have seen it coming?

Just about anybody, would be my guess.

I bought the PSVR1 at launch back in 2016, excited to finally BE in a virtual world. And for some games, I was absolutely blown away by the immersion. Skyrim, Dirt and RE were awesome in VR. Especially Skyrim was everything I was looking for.

I waited and hoped for more true games but all that kept coming was mostly short 'experiences' that felt like early 2000s shovelware, just in VR.

The best VR games were not Sony games but mostly third party games remade for VR.

When the PSVR2 came out, I decided to wait and see if Sony had learned their lessons and had at least many deals with third party studios to remake existing games in VR.

For now, it does not look that way, and a few exclusive tech demo games and some years-old PC ported games just do not justify buying a PSVR2.
