Consider the tech level necessary to maintain a device capable of full sensory immersion, and the likely energy requirements of such a device. Given that this story takes place in the future, one would expect that battery tech has also progressed to a point where this is possible.

Also any government would send in troops and shut down the server itself that controls everything.. Their is no explanations explaining why none of this is done...

2. Why the government just does not send in troops and shut down the server itself or use truth serum on the developer to know how to really shut down the server properly.
One of the reveals in the story is where the developer is, and the reason why it has taken so long to track him down. But that would constitute novel spoilers, and thus cannot be answered here.

And as already mentioned, truth serums that conveniently make a person tell the truth do not exist - there is no drug that you can make someone drink and they'll sudden turn honest. There are drugs and chemicals that can loosen a person's inhibition to lie (alcohol anyone?), but to get the truth out of someone would still require 'proper' interrogation tactics.
