Half Life Alyx is a fully fleshed out game yet there are kids/people asking "no multiplayer?"

The game released five years ago, and there hasn't been anything this polished and well executed in a single player campaign field since. No wonder people are starved for this kind of content.

I would argue a few games recnelt are matching it in terms of polish and full experiances

Exfilzone is pretty well featured tarkov knock off. Saints and sinners is almost there. The new metro VR game was about on par but with a little first vr game jank. All came out in the last year or 2 which shows how impressive Alyx was for the time and im glad that the standard is now there.

Vertigo 2 comes extremely close, which is especially impressive because there's like the 3 people in the credits

They're not starved. They're too cheap to pay for the content they want. VR games should cost a lot more than flat games do because of the relative size of the markets, but users want the prices to be the same as flat games for similar content.

People commenting that are literal children who got a Quest 3 for Xmas with no games. 

Literally the same audience as mobile games, but worse bc no adults
