Oh it's going to happen for sure. There are already many people with video game addictions and I can only see VR exacerbating that. Then when you have sandbox world's where people can do what they please (already being developed by a company called decentraland - think second life in VR) there will be an opportunity to have jobs and actual lives in the virtual world. It's quite crazy when you think about it... Actually, this is giving me an idea for a very cool scifi story 😆🤔

Wow... So you can put on your goggles and "go to work" in the game? Like walk to your shop and open it and deal with the other virtual players, or customers, and exchange goods for crypto? Something like that?
Exactly like that! It's still early days: they've just been selling parcels of land in their virtual world, but in time, people will be able to start building anything they want on their parcels and then I reckon things are going to get very, very interesting :)
So now we're going to have to but two houses- one in the virtual world and one in which to reside while you're paying off the mortgage to the one in your vr world...
These are most definitely interesting times in which to live!
Hopefully the VR ones are a bit cheaper 😉 Although I suppose if you're planning on living purely in VR you can get away with your RL house being like one of those Japanese cube apartments 😜
Ha! Yes! Good point lol
Cyberpunk literature has been predicting this for decades...
