this isn't going to catch on as strong as HL2 or be as revolutionary as people claim

generally if you bought or built a good PC anywhere from 2002-2004 you could play HL2 at >= 30 fps most of the time, something that anyone claiming to be a PC gamer could achieve even back then. after you got done with HL2 you could seamlessly go back to your other beloved games. VR is being sold for the price of an entirely new platform except it isn't even self powered, the only way you can drive an AAA game at respectable speed is by already owning a $1500+ setup. the buy-in price to play a single game and maybe some other shallow VR curiosities is too high. the footage we've seen doesn't seem to showcase anything new to VR. we've had VR with hand tracking and body movement and interaction since 1991, the only thing that has gotten better is latency, graphics, and price (which it's still a big price for the average gamer)
