The sickness thing has been solved on the hardware side. It's only software that is the issue.

Remember when FPS games would never take off because they gave people motion sickness?

Well, my one data point is i never got sick from a FPS (anything from Wolfenstein for Dos till the present) but I did get sick when I borrowed a PSVR for a weekend. Couldn't use it more than 20-30 mins no matter what i tried, and i had a stack of different games with it to try.

Maybe Occulus does it better, I'll never know though.

I get motion sick from Minecraft and nothing else. I have thousands of hours in other FPS, even watching someone else play Minecraft in person makes me nauseous.

Well, I mean, people used to feel queasy after classic FPS games back in the day, but generally people adapted. I expect VR will be similar.
