They are surprised VR isn’t really taking off with inflation through the roof huh?
Every few years for over half a century, someone decides that VR is finally going to be a big thing, spends a bucketload of cash on it, only to learn the exact same lesson: VR doesn’t actually solve any kind of practical problem anyone ever had, but it does create a whole bunch of new ones.
It does allow for some awesome games though.
Which one? Beat saber or beat saber?
Half life Alyx. Superhot VR. Walkabout mini golf. VR boxing. Any VR flight/racing sim.

I really liked the “I Expect you to Die” series. Basically VR escape rooms.

VR’s ability to control the atmosphere more could make for some next level horror games, too. Like something where there’s a reason the player can’t run, like they are wheelchair bound or sailing through a lake of lava.
