Wow, I couldn't disagree more with that statement. I'm very very aware I'm playing a game in VR bacause I have to be constantly aware of the space limitations, which often isn't handled well by games that expect a larger space than I have. Not to mention trying not to trip on the cables (which Quest[0] doesn't have I guess, so there's that), and the relatively uncomfortable headset...

In fact, so far I'd say I've played a total of two games that I thought did well with VR: SUPERHOT and Beat Saber.

[0] Because Facebook is involved, I will never own one.

It’s understandable and defensible to not use it because of Facebook, but I gotta say that Quest (especially Quest 2) is a qualitatively different and better experience than a lot of PCVR.
