I wonder if these are new games/stories or old games rebuilt for VR.

It's probably less about virtual reality and more about Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. They've been caught doing some pretty scummy things and I think people are rightly skeptical of the company's initiatives.
VR sucks, hard no thanks. Give me an actual Splinter Cell pls, no auto movement shit, no mark n execute, an actual stealth game pls.
pls zuckerberg make it a proper game and not vr and i will donate to whatever charity that is working for conservation of endangered lizards

Id play Splinter Cell in VR. Not a fan of Facebook though... Do you have to go to facebook to play games they make, or is it a seperate thing? Sorry if this is a dumb question

That said, I do think exclusives are necessary to push real development in the space and fully utilize the systems. A bankrolled game can be ported down-the-road, but a game not made can't be played on anything.
One would hope it would be a full game with a parkour system like so:
