Here's what I know:

I have Five friends involved in VR for a living. As in, they're involved in startups at top levels fucking around with major players, NDAs, etc.

I have ZERO friends who enjoy VR. I know a guy with two Oculii, one of which he hasn't even taken out of the box. I know another guy with a Google Cardboard rig he got bored with so he gave it to me. And I've messed around and every argument I've ever made against VR still holds true.

There is far more excitement about VR from a generation standpoint than there is from a consumption standpoint. Everyone wants to make it, no one wants to suffer it.

And that's a bad portent for the "future of entertainment."
