Kids in the 90's were more like, 3D looks like shit, 2D looks way better. I was one of them...
1998 2D vs 3D
Going 3D killed rollercoaster tycoon, killed monkey island for me as late as 2009. Real Myst still doesn't come close to Riven. Of course all those could easily outdo their 2D versions by now, yet the money isn't there.
Anyway I'm going off topic :) Although maybe there are some parallels in the transition from 2D to 3D and screens to VR. There will be a step back in graphics fidelity. You will have to learn how to move around again comfortably and game developers have to think up new ways how to approach game play and controls. And just as with early 3D, there are people that think VR is the next big thing and people that dismiss it as inferior.
Btw I loved both those games up there, yet Rollercoaster tycoon 3, I'll never forgive that! Ugly buggy broken mess on release.
