I understand what you mean, but you have to realize about vr:
-Pricey headset
-A computer that can run the headset software and the virtual program, that requires a lot of power that you can't get with older machines
-Space to use it - now to be fair you don't need alot of space for vr, but if you want to do the full body tracking then you need a good amount of space move around
-Your character - nothing wrong with a default design, but eventually you want to customize it. That requires knowledge of 3D models/texturing, rigging, baking and I imagine that it take time to learn how to do that from scratch or pay a good amount for a desired look
It's a cost/time investment that not alot of people have the ability to commit to

All gone because nobody is going to fuck with a winter con at the height of flu season post COVID.

The reason why a lot of far out cons aren't cancelling yet is because they don't know how long these state of emergencies will last. If the states and cities cancel their SoE after the cons cancel then the hotel/convention can go after the con org for breach of contract because the "force majeure" clause is no longer on the table for the con to back out on.

Now lets say these cons somehow manage to go on. The 16-25 demographics that attend these cons are going to be fucking broke because they're working in the industries that are being hit the hardest right now. Retail, customer service, restaurants and all of the hospitality industry are getting hit with mass layoffs right now. There are estimates that the US will see up to 30% unemployment rates.
