No offense, but I think you either don’t understand how niche racing sims are or don’t understand that “killer app” is meant to convey an app which justifies the existence of the device for a broad segment of the market.

And, if anything, Half Life Alyx remains the killer _gaming_ app (and it probably isn’t either if I’m being honest).

While Alyx is definitely up there in the best VR gaming has to offer, the real killer app has clearly been Beatsaber (hitting both the "gaming" and "workout" use cases). Some quick googling suggests that half of all Quest users have bought a copy, which is insane.

Ah, indeed I forgot about Beatsaber. You're definitely correct there.
