    Honestly the only things I could think of as a cause the lack of any sort of crosshair and the way the movement feels very disembodied without any sort of 'real' connection to a body. The only other game I've experienced notable motion sickness from is Sea of Thieves which shares some aspects of its movement with The Witness.

    I see some people complaining about pricing, but from the reading I have done, Apple is selling this product at-cost or very close to it, something unheard of from the company.
    The main reasonable driving points for its pricing would seem to be the massive R&D investments in its display, hand + eye tracking, and audio. We can hope all three of those investments were fruitful.

    I would honestly find the price of Vision Pro acceptable if I could use it as a replacement- and substantial upgrade to - a $2000+ display setup at home, linking it as essentially a ~50" ultra-wide 5k high refresh-rate display setup connected to my PC. I expect that using it in this way would not actually be possible due to compatibility outside MacBooks being either non-existent or very limited. In any case, I'm excited for the technology on display and for potential competitors taking inspiration from Apple and providing something closer to my interests!

    The Witness is the first game I've experienced motion sickness from, and by far the strongest cause. I love so much about it but haven't found a good way to solve that effect. I'll probably end up trying it again eventually and then end up on the floor in exchange.
