To be fair, while that statement is still largely true, at has at least gotten somewhat better; the lower end of VR headsets can be gotten for $3-500 instead of $1000 last I looked into them (bought one a few months ago as my first while cool was a bit too uncomfortable and limited in capability for what I wanted), and have improved in quality over the first couple generations of the hardware. Still not cheap, especially for an entertainment device with somewhat limited catalog of games/media, and still kinda annoying to get set up each time I want to use it (though some of that comes from using mine wired to my PC instead of it’s onboard processor, which adds some steps to connect it properly)
It’s just way too expensive and hard to run for the average person. It’s crazy how short sighted they had to have been to let that happen. Ha

It’s not that expensive, people buy TVs for 5000+, it’s just very inconvenient for pretty much everything except games that are made for it.
