naah if it's fun people will buy it. it's just because of the cost
Dude, get a clue. It's not Fun if it makes you sick.
Cost has NOTHING to do with it. Because even if were expensive, there would still be SOME places where you could go to do VR games or whatnot. But there aren't.
Maybe when they make a Virtual Reality game that doesn't make you run for the bathroom to hurl after you play it, and doesn't give you a splitting headache, then maybe it'll come back. But until then, it's gone for a reason. (

To quote from the above page:
"The technology of the 1980s was not mature enough," explains Stephen Ellis, who leads the Advanced Displays and Spatial Perception Laboratory at NASA's Ames Research Center. VR helmets and their optics were too heavy. Computers were too slow. Touch-feedback systems often didn't work. The only thing consistently real about VR were headaches and motion sickness--common side effects of '80s-era helmets."
