People can’t stop smashing their TVs while playing games in VR

As embarrassing as smashing your TV while playing a game in VR might be, you can take solace in the fact that you are, according to British insurance company Aviva, very much not alone.

Aviva told The Guardian that they saw a 31 percent increase in VR-related claims in 2021, and a 68 percent increase since 2016. Kelly Whittington, property claims director at Aviva, tells The Guardian that they often see this with new games and gadgets that lead to customer claims.
