re: Is VR gaming worth it or waste of money?

I've had the Rift S for about a year and a half know a few others that have it as well and know others that have gotten the Quest 2. All of us enjoy them immensely.

I go through phases with mine but there are a few reasons:

1. My play space in my office is too small and it's a bit of a hassle to move my setup outside or to a room where I can move furniture to make a bigger space.

2. My primary game (DCUO) doesn't work through it (even through a desktop emulator), something about certain movements does not transfer through remote connections (same if I VNC from another computer on my LAN or RDP in from work).

3. Age is catching up to me so I am have a strange pressure/migraine thing going on (I take meds for now) but there's also a dizziness component that lurks in the background. The occasional screen-freeze when a game is loading (usually on a company logo) fricks my world up for a few minutes after.

I can work around 2 and 3 well enough but 1 is just enough of a PITA to make my VR gaming happen in only fits and spurts. Still, when I do it I enjoy the hell out of it. I've said this before and I'll say it again: VR is the next stage of gaming (VR or Blended Reality like the Holo Lens) and we're just beginning to scratch the very surface of it.
