>Is the Index still the best option for PCVR?
I'd say it's still the best overall, but Reverb G2 would be better for sims, and Quest 2 is probably your best bet right now if you want wireless.
>What're the chances of an Index 2 being announced anytime soon?
Valve is working on some kind of hybrid standalone/PCVR headset right now, but I don't expect them to officially announce anything for a while.
>has the VR marketplace grown enough that there are more than just a handful of populated multiplayer games and high quality single player games yet?
Not really. There's some new stuff worth playing if you haven't played any VR games in a while, but there are still just a handful of multiplayer games that aren't dead.
