I suggest everybody read the full letter at the link provided, it is very smartly written and insightful.

I personally don't have any stronger opinion on VR except the one that I'm 100% certain I will never buy it or use it. It doesn't interest me a single bit, and I agree with the viewpoint that it creates detachment from people rather than joining people together in some VR world.
I don't mind if it becomes a fad, trend, or real future of gaming and social interactions in general, I will always choose talking to someone in person, and experiencing events in person rather than VR. Sure, my experiences will be limited by my financial resources, but it is better to have one great real personal experience, than a hundred fake virtual ones.

Do you think that people who aren't very social in the first place will suddenly be social if there is no VR?

It's not tech that leads to antisocial behavior. It's people.

Tech just helps antisocial people to have some kind of fulfillment.
