Virtual Reality Is Just An Over-Priced Gimmick, Nothing More
When you take all of this into account, it’s hard to justify a VR purchase. The combination of expense and the lack of compelling content, paired with the uncomfortable nature of the headsets themselves and various side effects, all makes VR a promise without a delivery.
