I feel like nobody looked into accessibility and reducing barriers of entry to increase VR adoption. I mean, is this how you establish an industry? I mean, there's also Meta VR's price increases. I don't understand the business of VR.

K-16 : Here's the thing. Price increases suck. There's no denying that one.

But the backwards compatibility thing kind of makes sense from a technical perspective. What would be ideal is for those old games to be updated to run on PSVR2. You wouldn't want those old games running on an old API on what is essentially an emulator for those old APIs on the new hardware. You're going to have framerate issues then and framerate issues in VR are the absolute worst thing in the world.

Then between PSVR/2: The eye resolutions are different, the FOV is different, the entire tracking system is completely different. So, unlike 2D games, there's a lot more that has to go into making old VR work with new tech in a lot of cases, especially on a platform, like PlayStation VR and PSVR2 where everything is "fixed," and you cannot adjust it as you can on PC.

Then there's an issue with encouraging adoption if depreciation happens faster than other technologies over time. At that point, manufacturers would need to have a team of engineers that help third-party developers port to the new headset without compromises, or have some sort of a trade-in discount program for retailers (as opposed to rip-offs like GameStop) until VR is a fully established industry like a smartphone.

........Not going to lie, I don't even agree with my suggestions. They're... Not good suggestions. Hmm... I don't know what to say. No idea how to solve this problem, if this even counts as a problem. Understandably, there would be many people here who would say, "What problem? Are you making one up?" Maybe I'm overthinking this.
