There's the douchebag who shows up every time to shit on good technology because it's not catering to their whims perfectly.
If you want that software, get to fucking work on it then. Make some kind of contribution beyond shitting on things.
If you think "The technology isn't ready yet" is shitting on it then you need a thicker skin
And saying "Just go back to college, get a masters in software engineering, and build the useful app yourself" is a perfect example of why it's not ready yet.
It's really weird how you keep making this discussion about me as if I am the VR. It doesn't matter to ME that you are choosing to miss out on something great, so my skin is not part of the equation at all. I'm just here to let people know that you're wrong and that people can have a cool experience with that technology.
I'm not disputing that VR is cool. I've tried it and it's fun to walk with dinosaurs and visit the space station and sculpt in 3D. I'm saying it's not useful. For a game console it's great but it's not a computing platform.
