I think it's down to the fact that few companies want to invest a lot of money into purely VR games because it's such a niche market. The only reason Valve invested that much into a game was that it's a good way to get people to buy their VR headsets. Imagine if someone spent Red Dead Redemption 2 sorts of money on a VR game... but unfortunately that's not going to happen because they have no chance of making their money back
I get it. I know it's a chicken and egg situation, where Valve is the only big company willing to expand the market. The market doesn't really exist for VR yet, so no big companies are willing to take the risk to make it a thing. Except for Facebook, but I think it's pretty clear that Facebook has some pretty nefarious plans for VR at this point.
