If you really feel it's not the thing for you, then refunding is totally the way to go.

I think it's important to consider that many people who are more susceptible to VR sickness (car sickness) take longer for their VR legs to develop. If you have bad motion sickness with VR, I don't recommend jumping right into the deep end, and instead nudge that you check out some of the less intense apps out there first to get your brain used to VR.

VR sickness is caused by the disconnect of your eyes seeing movement, but your inner ears not feeling movement, so your brain throws a fit and makes you sick because as a response. The same way your brain would throw a fit and make you feel sick if you were feeling movement in your inner ear, but not seeing anything move visually. Everyone's initial tolerance is different, but I've yet to see someone never get over it. Your brain is essentially sending false positives by making you sick, because it's having trouble processing the separation of the visual aspect of movement, from the feeling of movement.

Please refund if you only have bad experience or it actually does harm in the long run and not good.

Please take care!

I don't recomend you play VRChat the first time you get a VR headset, play less intense apps first, trying to play the game while you're not feeling well will just make it worse long term.

I heard these things can help if you are new to VR:

1. Drinking ginger ale helps with the nausea. It's also very cheap and you can find it basically at any store.
2. Having a fan blowing at you (no idea why it would help but people say it helps)
3. As soon as you start to feel bad, cold sweats etc, stop playing and take it easy. If you try to push through it your brain will associate VR with nausea / feeling sick and it will be much harder to become used to it.
4. Start with low intensity games the quest 2 store has applications ranked in intensity so you can find something that is much more friendly for you.

ginger ale, or ginger root capsules will help. Ginger settles the stomach and it helped me tremendously getting past that VR motion sickness phase. There will always be a sense of dizziness with some games though no matter what if you are prone do getting motion sickness.

I dont like ginger. Inst it like beer? I get the urge to vomit with beer. Are the quest 2 in low intensity free? I don't want to pay for something i maybe refund. Can i also play games on pc? I kinda got nausous with the vr desktop.

It does not contain alcohol even though the name may be misleading and does not taste like beer, more like a soda but with ginger taste.

There are some games that are free for sure but which ones I don't know just take a look at the Quest 2 store and I'm sure you will find something.

Yeah you can play with the Quest 2 on PC but that requires a official link cable or a similar one to plug into your PC. Just make sure your PC can handle it and has supported specs.

Just saying, My first experience was (Throwing up / eye sight actually spiderweb cracked, and I felt really sick for an entire week and a half) After that, I got used to the headset and mind you i have an extreme case of motion sickness. I forced myself through it; Gonna have to say it was worth it. Now I have around 15,000 hours in a headset. 10,000 of which are all in VRChat lol.

So if you feel like it's not worth it to you, to get used to the headset, refund it and use that money on food or something else.
At the end of the day it just comes down to, If you feel like its worth getting used too and overcoming the sickness.
