I had a lot of fun with VR from like 2019-2021. But it really does still feel like a gimmick. I loved whipping it out at a party or kickback, and people were always eager to play some games on it, but it really was the novelty that made it fun. It offers unreal immersion but the space requirements, up front costs, and isolating feel are big turn offs. And using it longer than 2 hours or so is near impossible. That said, my friends all got quests and quest 2s during quarantine and it gave us a lot of new and more immersive ways to play pc games and socialize that I valued during that time.
