GOOD Insights: Virtual Reality
Welcome to the first episode of our new series “GOOD Insights”, in which we’ll take a closer look at current games industry hot topics and trends, highlighting potential roadblocks and promising new concepts.

Is there a bright future for virtual reality just around the corner or has the hype train already passed by? We’ll try to find at least some answers to those questions after a short overview of the industry’s status quo.
