I love VR. I'm not a rich person and I struggled a lot with my decision to buy a Rift a couple of years ago. Felt like so much money! But I saw it as buying a new console, like a long-term investment, which made it feel a bit easier. I never regretted it and still use my Rift on a regular basis, at least a few times per week. And I would love to see more games designed specifically for VR.
I still play the so-called pancake games and enjoy them, but my excitement is so much higher in general for what future VR games can bring in terms of innovation, both in hardware and software. And I think that will be pushed by games like the new Half-Life (and of course games like Lone Echo 1 and 2, Asgard's Wrath, Stormland and so on). Brings attention to VR, increases install base, which allows smaller VR developers to reach a bigger group of people allowing them to invest more money in their projects and so on.
