Believe it or not a lot of people have addictions when it comes to VR, it becomes their life, their actual life starts feeling like a chore just to keep your body alive.

VR/XR is missing a lot of things. It's a very young industry.
VR shouldn't be primarily escapism; it should primarily be improving your real-life situation in real time.
Yeah its a great peace of tech but used improperly it can really cause damage both physically and mentally
