Above - VR is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. This non-game is an art exhibition that's been dumped on Steam, presumably because the local art galleries took out a restraining order on the "artists" who had no other choice but to pay Valve $100 to dump this on Steam.
For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played".
This is quite poor even for an art installation... it's an asset flip. The developer stole someone's 3D Earth model and slapped some stolen music on it... all you do is sit and watch until you die. There's no real interaction or anything, you just look at the stolen Earth asset and listen to the stolen music. The developer wants you to pay them for this experience of looking at other people's work that he stole.
Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers.
This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this art installation would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the art installation great is the VR, then the art installation isn't great at all.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this art installation was with gamers reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in "player" counts for the art installation, despite the fact it's not even a game. But this only appears around the same time that trading cards were applied to the art installation... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the art installation just has a couple of players every week running up the software and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so much pollution like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
As mentioned, the art installation contains stock/store assets and other packages, but the "developer" here hasn't credited the people who actually did the work. While this isn't necessarily against the license for the use of those assets, claiming the work of others as your own is unethical.
Above - VR has the greedy, cash grab price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer. Remember that if you buy software from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk.
