It's been a good run and I've had almost 7 years of fun, but it's time to move on and I've closed my VR Arcade business. Thank you for you support and I'm on...

    Probably a combination of technological burnout from the general populace, and a shrinking middle class.

    Off topic, but, you know, it might be cool for me to make a VR Game which is just an old fashioned Arcade. Wouldn’t be profitable due to cooyrights issues, but cool.

      There’s a VR game out there I’ve heard of and keep wanting to try that is essentially this. It puts you in a bedroom in the 90’s complete with athletics and you load your ROMs as cartridges into virtual consoles to play them on a CRT in VR.

      This is free for exactly the reason you’re talking about.

      i think it’s more like anyone who is interested in VR already has a Quest or whatever.
