Haven't heard a peep about it in the months since it came out and all the bazinga-brained tech bloggers creamed themselves over it and wore it everywhere. Did it hit hard and then fade equally hard, like all VR? Are all the headsets just hanging on the wall unused now? I've never seen one IRL still.

it's probably not comfortable enough to wear for 2 hours straight

That's the sort of tech bro thing that always leaves me mystified. They always assume their force of will can beat reality. They'd say that people need to get used to the device's flaws. They've had that POV since the very first "consumer" VR headset thing was unveiled. I guess it must have weighed 20 pounds (or whatever) and it was uncomfortable after just a few minutes.
