That's not a user story. That's a personal anecdote from over 5 years ago. The complaints you mentioned are not valid to the current hardware that is available to consumers right now. VR headsets are excellent for physical fitness. I use a VR headset for cardio and boxing games. I get a great workout and I don't get bored. Qualcomm's recent SOCs negate the need for a connected computer.

VR is also a game changer for racing games and flight simulators (all of which are seated and stationary and require no additional room).
