HTC looks at option to sell or demerge Vive
I used to be a pretty hardcore gamer. Now I&#x27;m a bit older, have other responsibilities, and considerably less time. Also, home improvement is expensive.<p>I desperately wanted to love VR, but could not bring myself to buy a unit. The demos I tried just could not bring me to pay that amount of money given the limited games and limited quality of them. Many of the ones with the greatest potential seem like they require multiple friends to also have VR.<p>I have a Daydream View headset and have barely touched it since getting it with my Pixel XL. Discoverability for Daydream apps on the Play store is a horrible experience right now. There&#x27;s not even a filter, and no way to sort by newest, so you end up seeing the same crap over and over mixed in with generic VR apps that aren&#x27;t made for Daydream (and thus a lower quality experience), or random apps that show up when searching for &quot;Daydream&quot; because that&#x27;s the best way I&#x27;ve found to filter.<p>I DESPERATELY want VR to take off, and I&#x27;ve wanted this my entire geeky life. But it just isn&#x27;t there yet.<p>Once the price comes down and quality comes up, and ideally isn&#x27;t tethered, then I think we&#x27;ll see a huge market open up. But I spent $5k on my last gaming computer (excluding peripherals) a few years ago, and I couldn&#x27;t bring myself to purchase this.
