Gaming is one of the most addictive hobbies out there, as the billions of people around the world who consider it a pastime can testify. Its explosive growth over the past half a century has made it an indelible part of popular culture, but this isn't always for positive reasons. The video game sector is no stranger to controversies big or small.
This tendency has been expanded in recent years through the introduction of VR gaming. In the future, we're promised that it will be the norm for a gameplay experience that will be more immersive than ever, like if the concept of the Metaverse was actually fun and not the virtual boardroom meeting from hell.
However, we've still got a long way to go before all the creases are ironed out. When it comes to VR, things can sometimes go explosively wrong. This has been underlined by a startling viral TikTok, in which somebody gets more than they bargained for while playing a virtual reality game. It's enough to make you wish that we could go back to the good old days of console wars.
