I have had 2 Herman Miller Embody Gaming Chairs at home for nearly 4 years and I haven't found a chair that's nearly as comfortable. The only cons I can think of are that the armrests do not slide forward and that the chairs do squeak.
Whether it's worth $1,436.40 is hard to say because they depends on the person's budget, among other things. If you live in an urban area where there are businesses and IT companies, you may be able to find a used one for a much lower price.
For transparency, I paid $1,046.50 per chair ($1,148.54 after sales tax) through a deal that I haven't seen since (link to the 2020 deal).

Wow, Tofu Vic! I'd expect the chairs to have been $300 or something coming from them.
I have a Sayl office (non gaming) chair. I find it to be extremely comfortable. It's a smaller chair that is probably better suited to smaller framed people. If you are over six foot or over 200 pounds, I would probably look elsewhere. It fits me much better than an aeron chair. I also have a Haworth office chair my work have me, but the Sayl is more comfortable to be.
Also, in my opinion, this is the best looking office chair I have seen. My home office is in my family room and this isn't a huge eyesore
The Embody has been worth every penny, yes theyre expensive and they can creak which for the price you can nitpick all you want.. But at the end of the day the chair supports your body well. I can work all day in this chair and not have any fatigue to where if I wanted I could play games after work in the same position. No aches and pains is a price i'll gladly pay
Have had an Embody at home the last three years and honestly do love and recommend it. While Herman Miller doesn't make a headrest for it, you can buy one here though it adds $200 to the cost.

I've had an embody for 11 years. I tried so many chairs and this is the only chair that has actually allowed my back problem to heal rather than aggravating it. I couldn't be happier with this chair for that reason alone. Earlier this year, a tear appeared in the fabric and they sent someone out to replace for the fabric under warranty. I didn't pay a dime, it has a 12 year parts and labor warranty.

Not worth it at all. I paid about $600 each for 2 of them from HM stacking 2 coupons from CS by calling in and they processed the discount manually. Even at the price I paid its not worth it. Better off with something cheaper when on sale from Staples.

That being said, I've had this for 10 years now or close to it. It's held up very strong and feels still newish.
Other "gaming" chairs get destroyed due to cheap materials used over time.
The only thing I've had to replace was the right armrest due to a friend scratching it up to the point it was horribly uncomfortable to lay my arm on.
