What systems, what versions? what hardware was used? Please be specific
with facts, not conclusions.
A lot of folks who could really benefit from using VR may be unfairly
turned off using it. I have found that the vast majority of lack of
functionality claims happened because:
1. The user did not understand how to use the product;
2. The user did not try to understand how to use VR;
3. An entry level product was being tried for something it was not
designed for;
4. Some earlier products are just dogs;
5. Inadequate hardware;
BTW: I have no affiliation with any VR product company.

There are few situations in life that cannot be resolved
promptly, and to the satisfaction of all concerned,
by either suicide, a bag of gold,
or thrusting a despised antagonist over a precipice on a dark night.
