VR is dumb, the technology has been around for over 20 years, there is a reason it has never caught on.

Why is VR "dumb" just because it hasn't caught on in the last 20 years despite the constant availability of advanced VR technology in that period?

 

If you've tried an Oculus Rift, you'd know it's actually quite great.

Very few people are going to sit in their gaming area with a freaking helmet on, or those huge goggles. The same way very few people wanted to wear 3d glasses in their living room to look at a 3d tv. Not to mention VR causes dizziness and nausea for some people, so I doubt you can even have extended play times.
