Love those games. Bringing them to a larger audience is ultimately a good thing, but I think they'll lose quite a bit of their impact without the VR aspect.

I've loved following VR the last few years, watching developers figure out in real-time what makes a good game in a headset, but it really does feel like it's really on the way out. Moss is one of the big successes of the VR years and it's now being excised from the medium. People are going to look back on VR in a few years time as a really weird niche of the games industry, like gaming's very own Galápagos of ideas that never took over the mainstream the way people thought they might in 2016.

I totally want to play this.
I didn't even know this existed. I should probably play this while it's possible (VR)

Its an amazing game but VR makes the experience.

Tbh makes sense and this is a pretty massive sign of what's to come. Most people simply don't want to use VR headsets and with meta soon to leave the VR space I expect it to quickly become a technology relegated to hyper-nerds within the next five years (granted the grand majority of meta quest owners never actually use it).

Awesome. I love Moss.
it will never not be funny to me that Valve released VR's killer app, and the killer app killed VR.
Nobody else has the time or budget to make something like Alyx, and strapping a monitor to your face is obnoxious in ideal situations, let alone to for a library broadly of $40 tech demos that last 15min.
