Yeah, I'm a VR nerd but I now find that wearing a VR helment for too long creates a kind of existential loneliness that will be hard to solve with better technology.


It really depends on the game. I was playing H3VR, and definatley experienced that dreadful isolation feeling as I was out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by fake unliving things. But in multiplayer games like Onward Its provided the opposite feeling for me. My wife and kids left for a week, and I work from home... after a few days, it felt like hanging out with friends.
