       | This is arguably the biggest thing to have happened to the VR
       | space. I've been enjoying triple-A titles in VR, through UEVR
       | since it came out a few months ago. It's reignited my love of
       | gaming. The immersion is crucial to being able to forget about
       | work and daily life for a couple hours.

         | I've had an unfortunately opposite experience with UEVR. Seems
         | very hard / impossible to get games working correctly without
         | fiddling with the settings for hours. Not sure what I am doing
         | wrong honestly.

       | I'm a VR enthusiast. My friends and I play multiplayer VR games
       | several hours a week. UEVR definitely opened up a lot of new
       | options for us, but ultimately we tend to fall back on existing
       | titles that have been optimized for VR (i.e., phasmaphobia,
       | devour, demeo, forewarned, etc). It's a great tool though, and I
       | hope it could lead to developers making their own vr
       | implementations.

       | I think for a long time there was an idea that VR had to be a
       | separate thing from traditional gaming, but now developers are
       | seeing that they can use it to extend their existing games to a
       | new audience. I dream of a day where any first person game is
       | just automatically also optimized for VR.

       | UEVR is the reason why i don't mind major games like halo,
       | stalker, cyberpunk moving over to UE5 if it means day one vr
       | ports that are not paywalled with motion control support
