Secondly, developers aren't going to spend money developing cloud based processing until there are enough headsets on the market to bring cloud to VR. It's why smaller experiences are being made now because the cost to make games can get expensive and why some VR experiences are priced high because they are trying to profit off a lower player base amount of users.
