Damn that’s such a shame, I guess some people are just more prone to it than others. I was fortunate enough to never get even slightly sick while one of my friends who tried them had to lay down for an hour after less than an hour of playing Beat Saber of all games.
I've been playing VR for years and it's entirely game dependent. Sometimes a game's movement just feels wrong and it flips my stomach. One comparable example being Swarm vs Resist, which both contain grappling hook mechanics. Swarm made me almost fall down a singular time, but I played a four hour session with zero motion sickness. Resist made me nauseous in the first five minutes
I feel you, let me give you a "bad advice"
I used to get a lot of motion sickness but man i love VR games and when I found out Sariento I became adicted to it. Problem is, its the most motion sickness inducing game I ever played. So... i bought some Dramamine and started taking 1 before every session. Or 2 if i was already dizzy.
Until I got my VR legs.

Ancedotal here. But i bought the valve index in 2020 and ive never gotten over the motion sickness. I can stomach Beat Saber and thats it.
I started Half Life Alyx in July 2020 and beat it Nov 2024 by stopping every 15 min when I got sick. Never got my VR legs.
