Certain gaming experiences are really good in it. First person shooters are great. Horror games are so effective they are basically unplayable.

I can imagine VR gaming becomes the new racing wheel. Something that never dies and never becomes ubiquitous. Just another way to enjoy entertainment.

FPS are immersive, fun for an hour or so, but I'd rather play with keyboard/mouse/monitor anyway - I'm often tired after work and just want to chill for a bit. Actively moving in VR gear is more of an excersize.

Otherwise you can go play paintball/softball etc and it would be 100% better than any current VR tech.

I can play VR shooters at home. I don't even know how I would play paintball as they are far out in rural areas without public transport access. That's an anecdote but its not unique. VR brings accessibility to a lot of people.
