I mean, gamers were the ones to hype it up in the first place. When Oculus had a puking machine with wires sticking out of it, the people hyping it up were the Carmacks of the world, and by proxy all the gamers saying “maybe this time they’ll figure it out”.

In fairness, they got it pretty far along, but it was never going to be a primary way of interacting with computers or anything else.
