No, I mean, people will still play vr. The company is probably definitely done for, well with a game as advanced as TA they might be able to savage themselves if they fix the problem soon, but then the plot is gone. I don't think the market would die tho.
Also side note. What if as a twist, the time flow from the game and irl was different and years have actually gone bye. Everyone in the game is actually a collection of their minds and thoughts that make up their personalities. So they're apart of the server now, and the server can't be shut down or every dies.
PS. Is acutall over 2,000,000 people, reread the title
I guess they would salvage it, VR would probably still be a thing, but nobody would probably have the balls to touch full-immersion VR with a ten-foot pole for like a decade or so, especially the investors that would pay for the tech to be made.
Also, I toyed with the idea of it being the opposite way; that a year in the server or something is a day in the real world, and the reason things are taking forever to fix is because the dev team has to fix it in real time.
