> I might be being dumb

You're not. You've caught on better than most, because you are right in that it doesn't yet exist and isn't meant to exist for years to come.

I'm a software developer.

I very much preferred it to regular CoD games. It didn't feel distracting.

I've played CoD maps in Pavlov, and there's a full Medal of Honor game in VR.

> that non-IT professionals will want to learn more and have opinions.

Unfortunately that is rare on this subreddit. Most people that comment here have no intention to learn, because the majority of sources/statistics/studies that gets posted are disregarded and downvoted, with anecdotal opinions being the prevailing truth.

> Lots of traditional video game genres don't fit well into it though.

Which ones don't fit?

> I get these r/Technology suggested posts but honestly this subreddit does not feel like it has IT professionals in it.

Correct. Most people in here are tech-illiterate, but they mask themselves as if they are somehow knowledgeable.

> Like how in a group chat no one really cares about seeing anyone elses face, so having a virtual room doesnt really add anything either

Doesn't that mean meeting in the real world is pointless and we should all hide behind phones and keyboards?

> I won't be interested in VR until full dive VR exists and I think the same goes for most people.

Nah. No one is waiting for full dive VR - and that includes you.

It's just a matter of not knowing what you want.

Full Dive VR will bring in billions more people who were never interested before, but anyone who is interested in the concept of VR will buy into it when it's akin to Ready Player One. Still a headset, but more like a visor. Not a brain interface, but still sci-fi level immersive.
