It's exciting to see all this research and development poured into a single technology, so many clever solutions, here. ... where are the games, though, Valve?

Valve is working on a "flagship" VR game, but we don't really know anything about it and I'm honestly not expecting it to be exceptional. Valve really isn't much of a game developer any more overall, and we definitely can't rely on them to single-handedly fix the VR game situation.

I’m just a tired of VR being treated as a hardware race when its biggest problem is obviously a lack of convincing software. If Valve can’t come up with one game that makes a $1000 investment seem justified, who can? They had an entire generation with the original Vive and all they could come up with is a tech demo.
That's because it is a hardware race. Although most are going for the high-end (which is probably due to development costs), the race to the bottom is what will make VR popular in the end. People...
That's because it is a hardware race. Although most are going for the high-end (which is probably due to development costs), the race to the bottom is what will make VR popular in the end.
People are definitely willing to try it (heck, we all went for the Wii) but they're not willing to spend that amount of money.

That's nice. Where are the games, though?
