If it doesnt detract from getting the app stable. There's been some pretty large bugs that have persisted for sometime now. Even then I'd probably like to see a hosted AI segmentation/background removal tool that lets us upload our own videos for ai passthrough. Would be even cooler if you made your segmentation model open source. After that, games...sure.
Do we want games on SLR?

Hurto11 I’m against it. Just trying to do too much and losing focus on the important thing—vr porn. I don’t like when companies try to do 5 different things. Stick to a couple of things and get really good at it.
100% agree, a perfect example of this is VR Bangers who are 2 steps ahead of everybody else atm regarding visual quality as they are focusing on the fundamentals and not gimmicks and games.
SLR were once upon a time the best but changed their rig to 8k and broke everything and have never been the same again, i fear for SinsVR atm who have done the same - for the sake of an 8k tag, they have broken what worked perfectly for many years.
SexbabesVR are only 5k and still far superior to many, many studios that claim to be 8k.
My point is that any studio is all about the fundamentals and image quality / performers, not addons that the majority don't care about.
That being said, i do like AI Passthrough as it gives the user an option to watch as passthrough or watch as originally intended, and although no where near as good as Alpha Passthrough is still amazing technology that i can appreciate and at times be blown away by. It's pretty amazing technology IMO and SLR should be applauded for that.
Losing focus on the meat and potatoes even more 
Yeah. Games would be fun. Go for it!
Yes, and a suggestion for one something like Captain Hardcore except with very photorealistic replicas of actual models like Hailey Rose etc. Where they can be positioned around your room doing things like Jumping Jack's, Twerking etc. Maybe best to have actual video of them doing everything like istripper style where you have a set scene of actions recorded by each model.
GetReal Where they can be positioned around your room doing things like Jumping Jack's, Twerking etc.
I was just thinking about Virtamate has the capability to do Passthrough content (and it works extremely well imho), but it's pretty inaccessible to anyone who isn't able to spend hours to get familiar with VAM. It's an absolute time-sink 
doublevr I don't find the need to even investigate games. I never have. So I can't really say anything except, there has got to be a reason why I have never wanted to play.
...if you can host games with haptic feedback, i'd be very interested...
You say you can't afford to continue supporting SteamVR clients yet now you want to throw money at this niche crap. Straight up good idea fairy nonsense--get back in your box.
Out of curiosity, are there any adult VR games that are good? Ideally ones that involve realistic women, not cartoons? I've heard of VR Paradise, which looks like a VR version of the Vanilla Unicorn club in GTA5 but what else is out there?

Just my experience and your mileage may vary, but so far most of the good/great experiences I've had with "games" in VR have been more sandbox platforms vs actual games.
Virtamate is the one I've spend a fairly considerable amount of time with, and when things are properly set up it can be absolutely incredible and extremely "life-like". It does require a powerful PC to run though (and is a total time-sink), which can be obvious downsides for many folks.
That being said, I think the potential market for actual adult-focused VR games is enormous. Up through the current day it's mostly been a challenge of the VR market being too small for something so niche, but the Q2 and Q3 have done a lot to hep grow the market considerably.
justsomedude101 yeah, I don't know, I do agree the potential market is enormous (the interactivity, freedom to do whatever, modify, etc. is really cool) but I don't think it will really take off before the graphics of these games are way better and the the logic is almost fully controlled by AI to make it truly interactive and much less of a pain to play with.

In my view, having games on SLR could be a neat addition, especially if they're fun and engaging. It could make SLR more appealing to a wider audience, attracting people who enjoy gaming and want to make some extra cash. cash app games that pay real money could be a great hook, as they provide a chance to enjoy gaming while earning a bit on the side. Plus, it could add a new dimension to the SLR experience, giving users more reasons to visit and engage with the platform. However, it's important to ensure that these games are fair and secure, and don't detract from the primary focus of SLR. So, yeah, I think it could be a cool idea!
Pretty much every good studio has left the platform, people have been very critical about the content and talent quality that's been coming in for quite a while now and you guys are considering vr games, sums this place right up these days.

Does 1 direction necessarily take away from another?
I am sure they have a separate department for R&D.
SLR is the ONLY VR platform with this high quality of passthrough VR. Innovation is important. Being able to deliver something your competitors cant is important.
That being said...
What do you mean by "games".
I feel almost any VR porn game I have "played" is really just a scene selection.
(Girl on bed, do you choose blowjob or anal) which is not that different from just jumping to the blowjob or anal scene in a normal video.
I'd be down for something interesting for sure.
I've been sinking a lot of time into Virt-a-mate/VaMX. Just as @justsomedude101 mentioned, it's a really steep curve to get something out of it, but I've enjoyed it a lot.
Immersion is incredibly powerful because of 6-DoF (video can only approximate), and even voice control for interactivity. (Just say "I'm cumming" rather than play target practice to hit the right button.)
Many creations in VaM are as you describe, plain pick-the-position scenes, with no "game" to it. Out of dissatisfaction, I'm making something with story, choices and (limited) reactivity. Which is also an advantage since you can make the exact content you want to see - if you have the time to waste.
On topic: Games on SLR could be neat, but seems extremely costly to develop? Passthrough would be a valuable feature.
wongry I've been sinking a lot of time into Virt-a-mate/VaMX
Only vr porn game I came close to would be bonelab, I downloaded NSFW npc mods, naked with jiggly tittys, I downloaded this knife dildo that was stickiable, they also have this naked avatar with his dick out, and what I'd do was download houses and apartments mods, also these camera that had monitors, lol and post up in a bed room posing these naked mods like a scene in a porno, or some kinda bloody horror scene, lol it was fun, was fun for a Lil bit, then I just stop playing it, then my q3 glitched out and I had to factory rest it, all the mods gone , the mods are still there to download, they're free. But I've seen plenty of content on captin hard-core and vam I can imagine that's way better then what I experienced in bonelab. And the graphics are just gonna keep getting better. 
Imagine a vr game that's like a brothel you walk in and pay for a room, you walk into the room there's a VAM hottie, also it be social too, you meet up with others for fun time, and the sex visuals are like vam or captain Morgan.
Like on bonelab you can play on line with others, lol and you can switch your avatar to naked Ford with a big dick, and then your online friend or partner avatar is naked too! Bruhhhhh! Lol
Lol after virtual smashing yall can head out into the sandbox or what ever and roam around, lol change your avatar.
Bet mofos do that now on bonelab lol 
Hell, Vam + captain Morgan + bonelab mix all that up in a blender I bet it come out tasty and SWEEEET 
Lol, I haven't used big screen in a while but I been in a porn watching room, pervs 
Lol like do big screen no people are doing that on their app, omg
I thought it was funny, a cool concept tho cuz you can meet up with a partner in private. And it's free. 
But holy cow this technology is going out there! It's gonna be mind blowing I bet years from now, its mind blowing now so imagine years from where we at now 
You build a virtual life in that shit, you have neighbors, lol the Sims! Omg 
, lol
Anyone remember ps home? 
Technology!

While its not zero-sum, resources are limited: like manpower, time, expertise, R&D money, cloud processing, etc.
So the question SLR needs to ask itself is: is it worth diverting resources away from their core business to support an essentially side hustle like VR porn games? What is the potential return on investment here compared with VR video? My guess would be that VR games would represent an advertising bullet that may have a decent on driving new subs and have a smaller impact on retention income. However, it seems suspect to quantify those potential VR games "ups" as better than the impact of, for example, increasing the number downloadable AI scripts, or speeding up the weekly SLRO release schedule, or attracting better producers, etc etc.
SLR has the numbers for previous experiments to make that call--I wonder if https://www.sexlikereal.com/flat was ever worth the investment.
