Motion Sickness and its causes

This is a question I've wanted to ask for a while now, but can yall tell me if and when yall get motion sickness? Does it happen in every game or certain games? I've been playing VR heavily for a few years now, and I suppose I've been gifted because I've never gotten nausea or motion sickness before, but now that I've started VR game development, I need to understand how prevalent motion sickness is and how to best avoid it. I would love to fill my game with visual effects and fast movement, things I would personally be comfortable with, but I also dont want to drive away players, so where is the line, and how far can I push it?

    That's a very good thing to think of. I don't get it myself, maybe due to being on boats and at sea since I could barely walk. I can't remember what it's called but you know that tunnel vision type option you can put in games, that helps a lot of people who might feel a bit queasy. Good luck in your game development !
