I just don't see VR going mainstream for gaming. I think there is a certain degree of tactile feedback that gamers look for when gaming that they get from a controller or a keyboard and mouse. It will reach a niche audience and I think that most likely be millennials.

It will never work for greybeards like me with Vertigo ;)

Have you tried an Oculus? I have vertigo too and am a graybeard and it doesn't bother me at all. They did a good job with the refresh rate. Other VR headsets do still bother me, so they did something right (at least for me) on the Oculus.
I get uncomfortably sweaty after 10 minutes, but maybe that depends on fit.
It makes a fair difference if you add a fan into your headset: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/08/a-fan-for-the-valve-in...
