unless its VR

I thought the same thing about touchscreens when they first came out. I really did think they were the future of gaming. Seemingly limitless buttons in limitless combinations. Touch and drag game pieces directly, action and vision in the same place.

Turns out gaming on mobile is shit. So so shit.

Maybe VR will end up the same way. Its pretty neat now while its still new and shiny, but maybe it never actually reaches potential.

The current crop of VR tech dates back to 2012, not exactly what I'd consider new and shiny
