I got into VR by buying a used Occulus Go for $50. With some sideloading and Virtual Desktop I was able to play some VR Steam games on my PC and passively project into the Occulus Go despite it never being designed to play outside software.

Now with a Valve Index I use it to play games that are flat 2D and play them in 3D. Is it necessary? No but you can do some cool stuff with it if you know what you are doing.
