Duh!
It’s the inevitability of VR rising to the point of getting the same things flat games are getting.Small games, big games, RPGs, racing, puzzles, etc.
How they are sold would be no different. Expensive games, cheap games, in-house and indie games, third party games, digital and physical releases. DLC and micro transactions, updates and remasters and remakes. PRE-ORDERS.
How would VR be any different than regular gaming when VR is gaming too? I used to pre-order because sometimes it was the only way to get a copy without waiting. Now I don’t as it’s either in stock or not. I’m not allowing someone to hold my money when the game may turn out to be broken at launch. I love games but I don’t need to rush out and get them. I’ve become more patient about when to buy. Sometimes waiting gets you more for your money with everything included for the same price or less.
As a store manager, I used to have to get pre-orders so that the company I worked for knew how many copies to buy. I understand that side as it made business sense. But pre-orders were inevitable. VR is growing.
