Dear VR manufacturers: don't get me off the couch

Yes, yes I know VR manufacturers are super excited about the second coming of this exciting technology.

I'm looking forward to it too. My hand is already reaching for my wallet.

But please, please understand I don't want you to force me off the couch. I am a gamer. I love gaming. But I do it to RELAX. I did not want Kinect forcing me to wave my body and stand up. I did not use Nintendos system requiring me to stand up and wave things in the air.

I want VR, but simply as a more immersive couch gaming experience. I do not need or want any controller other than the current console controller that I have right now.

Please VR gaming companies do not "revolutionize" my gaming by making me stand up and wander around - I do not want to.

All I want is my current couch based gaming experience, but with the immersion of a VR headset.

Please, please listen, don't desperately try to "revolutionize" for the sake of it. I'm tired, I am gaming to relax. Please let me stay on the couch.
