We are all thinking it.
CCP is obviously interested in putting all of their eggs in the VR basket. |

I agree but CCP seems to be under the impression that by going into VR they can regain the advantages that they coasted on for 10 years in Eve. |

VR is still impossible in First-Person Shooters.
I feel like I keep repeating myself in each of these new threads, but there's no solution for the fact that the VR headset is telling your brain you're moving while your inner-ear and all your other senses are telling it you're stationary.
Yep totally impossible.
Thats why people are already playing FPSs in VR using a phone and a PS3 controller.

Just because people like me and you get motion sick easier than others does not mean that CCP will not gladly try it. |

People will try it out, say "hey this is neat", and after an hour once they realize it's nauseating and causes headaches, the goggles will come off.
I totally agree that it will never be anything more than niche in gaming but atleast gaming is pushing the technology forward for other areas which it can give some great benefits.
That is why it is that much funnier that CCP seems to be putting all their eggs in the VR basket. |

Except it isn't. Far too many smart people poured billions and billions into VR to make it as perfect as possible. The consumer versions, in contrast to the dev kits, don't cause headaches and aren't nauseating, they're quite comfortable to wear for hours on end. In fact people who are normally easy sea sick can sit in VR demos without issues. I remember statistics in an event, out of 600 people doing demos in that event, not one got sick. Your predictions are based on false assumptions, and aren't taking into account the industry's movements as a whole.
VR will do absolutely amazing things in medical applications, education, engineering, and quite a few other fields but in terms of gaming it will always be a niche product.
The average consumer of today is looking for quick and easy along with being able to maintain their ADD tendencies which VR completely contradicts. |

CCP might be high on VR right now, but they wouldn't push VR where it doesn't fit.
Because that would be a bad decision and CCP has never made one of those. |

The average consumer of today is looking for quick and easy along with being able to maintain their ADD tendencies which VR completely contradicts. Quite honestly, you sound like someone who never tried it. While I didn't myself, the things I heard from close friends who did, friends I know aren't easily impressed, tell me it will be absolutely amazing for gaming. Immersion to a completely new level.
I have used a few different Cardboards with different phones, the Gear VR, and an OR dev kit 2.
As humans we have been trained to be ADD at this point. Most people can not manage to accomplish anything unless they are talking, texting, checking facebook, and whatever else they are doing. People are not going to shell out a ton of money for an experience that is contrary to their nature.
That is exactly why OR did not even attempt to get their price point any lower. From inception VR is being setup as a high margin low volume industry and is going to remain that way. Your friends who you mention will obviously be part of that niche and there is a small possibility that I will be to but that does not mean that millions of people are going to rush out to buy it.
Also augmented reality is likely going to put a quick block on VR stuff at the consumer level thanks to the fact that instead of contradicting the nature that people have developed it supports it. |

It is CCP. The obvious choice is the opposite of the smart choice.
Just saying. |
