It didn't claim that video games weren't fun or profitable, and the author even admitted they'd had fun with them. It just claimed that the current status quo of them has gotten kinda stale for them.

Video games being stagnant isn't exactly a new idea; we've more or less been stuck with the same interfaces with slight improvements for twenty years now.

We've literally seen the recent birth of a whole new mode of gaming in the form of vr, with its rapidly evolving ui coming with it.

I'm aware. I use VR daily, for both work and play.

It's not new, though. Luckey's work was a revival, not a conjuring. There was a motion-tracked HMD in 1961, and Sutherland established more or less our modern take on it not long after.
