/vr/ - Retro Games

Are games like this really filtering anyone or is it just a meme? It seems to have filtered many journalists, which I know isn't hard, but I'm struggling to comprehend that. I understand you could be filtered by games requiring precise, fast inputs, but immersive sims? Really? Are you just filtered by the necessity of making decisions? This comes from someone who considers SS2 to be 10/10, but never got around to playing the original (I know...), so I definitely have some understanding how games like this work.
