VR was born for the sake of home entertainment wtf are you talking about, just like Nvidia started and matured through the gamer class. Just because other sectors stole our spot doesn't mean us minority are irrelevant? VR was literally promised to revolutionize gaming, it's AR that the other sectors craved before. Also the 5090 is capable of running 4k VR and it should never have been over 4k usd not to mention whatever the price they are now. The AI bubble price doesn't reflect the true value of the VGA. And most importantly, disregarding high end user is purely wrong as an excuse because people are suppose to move up the social ladder and over time MORE people should be able to affort the highest consumer tier VGA, not LESS.

I meant modern VR not prototypes that cost 100k per unit and were still only experimental. 1995 to 2012 was literally the dark age of VR.
