That sounds like a great tool for quality of life improvement for lets say disabled people or very old. A thousand times better than sad empty look down the street, if they are even capable of looking out of window.

For regular folks, you must have messed something up in your real life pretty badly to waste it in VR in such ways. Real life can have amazing experiences, adventures, passions, extreme sports, experiencing different cultures through real social interaction. But it requires actual effort to get there, not just throwing some money at the problem. Efforts build character, lack of them shows.

If all that sounds old school, boy am I glad to belong there.
