Email the University of Minnesota on their findings. They found 50% of the people tested got sick after Halo.um what? That statistic seems rather suspect.
I mean by gamer does it mean "anyone who has ever played a game ever including candy crush" and so they extrapolate that of the general population (who play games, ie everyone) only 45% play shooters so the other 55% must get motion sickness from them? I mean what.
if we're talking real gamers, then 90% of gamers play shooters, and i've never heard of people getting motion sickness from them. I mean sure that's anecdotal but never met anyone who gets motion sickness from playing shooters. What's not anecdotal, I've never seen the thousands and thousands of articles that would of been written if this 55% figure was anywhere close to being the case, nor have I seen the tens of millions of dollars in research in graphics, UI improvements, syncing improvements, FOV, etc improvements specifically to counter motion sickness that would of been spent, if the majority of your players couldn't actually play the games that they are currently playing. But they are playing them, so did you forget a decimal here? like 5.5%? or maybe, 0.55%? that seems more reasonable.
