@dank@jorts.horse @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @claudius@darmstadt.social as I said they are massively different technologies so comparing them has its limits. I wasn’t trying to draw an absolute parallel between them, my point is that every tech sucks when it’s in development. Also I didn’t mean millions at any given time, but Steam is not representative of VR usage.

@dank@jorts.horse @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @claudius@darmstadt.social oh, I’m so sorry I had to make you repeat yourself. Touchscreens are not useful per se, everything that can be done with one, can be done with a mouse too. VR is at least as useful as a touchscreen but there’s a big entry barrier as it requires the commitment of wearing a big device that blocks your view. Screens are a lot more accessible as of today but that doesn’t make them more useful.

@dank@jorts.horse @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @claudius@darmstadt.social I think it is short sighted to dismiss a tech that hasn’t fulfilled its potential, just because a few mega corporations have been bullshitting a bit too much with it.

@dank@jorts.horse @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @claudius@darmstadt.social and millions of people use VR as of today. VR is a massively more complex tech than touchscreens. Only in the last decade we started having the compute power and capabilities to make them minimally usable. We haven’t yet seen any version of VR that provides a good user experience. No matter how long VR has been around, it is today what touchscreens were in the 90s: disappointing, not quite there, but with potential.

@the5thColumnist@mstdn.ca @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @claudius@darmstadt.social touchscreens is how people want to interface with their devices nowadays (like it or not).

@grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @claudius@darmstadt.social describing VR on those terms is like saying "touchscreens suck, they're dead" after trying out a 90s PDA. There's tons of potential on VR, it's just not ready.
