Do you believe VR is dying? The HTC Vive team believes you might have been swayed into believing so after reports forecast the shutters coming down on VR. The team has even gone as far to release a blog post proving otherwise - and we all know nothing says VR is thriving more than a strongly worded blog post from one of the main proponents telling you it definitely  isn’t dead.

Hardware-wise this growth path isn’t really all that obvious, however. While there are growing numbers of VR games, the hardware itself has been fairly stagnant in the tethered space.
