Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Playing racing games on PC.
At first, it’s just a few racing games with an Xbox controller.
Then it get more complicated with the more advanced racing sim/arcade and the controller isn’t enough anymore.
Then come a simple wheel and pedals set.
But now the games is way more enjoyable, then up the difficulty.
Now I need gear shifter, hand brake, better monitor, better PC.
Then not long until I need a full racing cockpit to mount everything on.
And now, after all that is just the beginning.
Preech, my simrig is the price of a modest car at this point.
What, no VR headset yet?
I enjoy VR games, but I can’t get into VR racing. I can’t see the wheel, the shifter so it’s hard to enjoy immersion when I had to fumbling to find a grip. I can’t see the control buttons so navigating the menu is a pain in the rear end.
Similarly I lose immersion when I’m going into a corner and I struggle to see the car on my inside. That’s why I want to try VR.
I don’t play with a shifter, just paddles on the wheel (driving F4 in iracing), so I don’t think I’d have any trouble with where the controls are. Maybe the Apple Vision Pro will end up being the best racing headset though and solve your problem.
