It's funny that you're making a really strong assumption about something that you've never even tried. You can get $2xx.xx Microsoft backed WMR VR headsets new.

ymmv but I've been able to buy used VR systems like the Vive Pro for $375 on ebay. Just to use them for either driving or flying simulators, VR is already worth it.
That said, there's still plenty to complain about for VR but that doesn't mean it doesn't have mass market potential.
- ashtonkem 7y agoYou’ve got it backwards. One must make a strong argument for spending hundreds on something with uncertain value, not make an argument against spending the money. Basic prudence says that items of uncertain value should be weighted less strongly, and receive fewer resources.
- chaostheory 7y agoWell then stop writing from a position of an informed authority. You're not one. Focus on uncertainty instead because you really don't know what you're talking about. VR is also no longer a super expensive hobby. It's just as affordable as a normal video game console now. It's not a Macbook. (I know this because we've also had to buy new Apple machines recently. No point in buying used ones since they have a Mac OS EOL within 6 years or less.)
