I'm gonna say it, you only need thirty if you're gaming. 24 if you're watching. Thats all you absolutely need.

I know it wasn't explicitly mentioned. But good luck gaming in VR at 30fps without vomiting.
Ah but thats the catch, you don't need VR.
You don't need gaming. I don't really see your point.
Well the article talks about gaming and film. Hope that context helps.
Sure, and VR gaming is a form of gaming. It seems arbitrary to decide what types of gaming is "needed".
Depends on the game. For high twitch first person games you will suffer some amount of accuracy handicap at 30 compared to 60. A relatively small amount, but I think noticeable for most people who are at a decent skill level.
If it's not at least 60 fps, it hurts my eyes as far as games go. Movies and TV are fine at 24 fps, though higher does generally look better but not needed.
