In a serious response to what you said, I agree I think it comes down to the game. You're absolutely right standing dead still and watching shit happen in VR is no more engaging than sitting still and watching a game happen on a TV or monitor. I was frankly bored with a lot of half life alyx because fuck all was happening. I understand it's pacing and character building and all of that but once it picked up and I have to crouch to avoid fire or detection, move around a lot, reach for things, throw hand grenades, time pressure things like killing those guys before they just send up a manhack, the game became very entertaining.

If the game in question is mostly just standing there or can be overcome by mostly just standing there, then yeah absolutely, that's boring as fuck. I would contend though, there are people who play VR and when you could move in person to accomplish a thing (which seems to me to be the entire point of playing vr) and instead they use thumbsticks to get there and grav gloves to pick it up, I can see such a person getting bored with a game where a person who moves more would feel more engaged, because they literally are more engaged.
