With all due respect, I don't think gaming chair are entirely "overhype" and "marketing". They are comfy to me and packed with features. I agree that they look stupid (yes, even to me) At least I'm enjoying my Secretlab Omega. Don't tell me about comparing gaming chair to "real" office chair. Price comparison alone is out of question. I've not tried those "CEO" chairs like Herman Miller as those prices are just not accessible for a normal person.
