I have a Valve Index and I tell people the same thing. VR gaming is the future, it really is. Even in the rudimentary version we have now, you lose yourself in games. I've been playing Jet Island and I legit think it's been helping me with my fear of heights. There were a couple of moments there where I had an adrenaline dump and thought I was legit going to die, but it's been insane and loads of fun.
As soon as someone figures out 6DOF movement, VR is going to be come the definitive gaming experience. I don't think pancake games will ever truly go away, but there's going to have to be a standard AAA implementation of VR alongside them.
