I like playing it in irl and own a physical tile set but it's hard for me to get into playing it in vrc. I enjoy the game very much, it's comfy, you can talk about some shit with friends while having something to play around with. It goes well with snacks or light drinking. And you can easily play it at various "seriousness" levels from mostly automatic to actually putting in effort and tracking what's happening. 
That said, whenever I tried to hang out and play at mahjong meetup it didn't really feel as social, but probably that's just a me problem. I also have a real problem with how much people randomly go afk. It was extremely common when I came to meetups, to the point where I never managed to play even just full East round without interruptions or someone filling in for someone else. 

I have really mixed feelings, because I like the game a lot but can't seem to have fun playing it in vrc at all.
