It's rapidly becoming a cult thing where the 100 guys who play it insist it's the best and the future of gaming and it's everyone else's fault for not wanting to play it.
VRs only problem is that the games are still effectively tech demos. It's coming along nicely.
There is an actual argument to be made that shooters are training for war. I've found myself falling naturally into real tactical movements and trying to tuck my legs at odd angles behind cover.
Again I'd disagree. Many of the games are fully fledged games, not tech demos. The low hanging fruit is obviously Half Life Alyx but there are feature complete indie VR games too.
Imagine needing vr for action course training, y’all faggots are still a long ways from real combat training. Vr combat training is to focus on desensitization not actual positioning.
If you travel for business a lot I could see it being great, especially if the hotels can put a rack of Stadia servers in their IT room so you could get something resembling good performance. Of course society just killed business travel as a thing, so that idea goes out the window.
Yes they'd have needed to start out in extremely high density locales where they could basically build Cloudflare but for gaming servers. But they didn't, because modern google strikes me as the sort of place that's incapable of undertaking any sort of long-term project that doesn't depend on the massive infrastructure they already have.
Skype and/or whatever other video conferencing and the legalization of e-signatures should have killed business travel ages ago. Fuck having to pay for business trips and junkets in the price of things. Fuck businesses downsizing their wage employees but not giving up business trips. And fuck airplanes and airlines, too. (Hey, if it weren't for planes, that virus would have been stuck in Chinkfink land longer, maybe long enough for the rest of the world to see it was no big deal ... and imagine if that HAD been a Captain Trips/12 Monkeys level pandemic, with the planes still flying: https://www.flightradar24.com/38.47,-3.71/4)
Agree. Even as someone who for a long time was on the purchasing end of some big spending (free dinners can be fun with the right people), but most business travel was a total waste. Particularly the big multiple time a year conferences that consisted of a bunch of people talking about nothing. I used to have to spend 2 or 3 weeks a year at those type things, luckily my company realized a few years ago they should maybe cut down on expense and that was a stupid expense. I haven't had a business trip in four years and I don't miss it at all.

Sounds like VR.
Hard disagree. VR is niche to be sure but it's still developing well and overall on the up.

I have a 5 ms ping to Atlanta so I assume it would work really well for me- but I also own a gaming pc so meh.

I mean it could be great but it needs a massive, widespread lot of people to adapt to it and widespread high speed internet.
But that's not happened.
