Half-Life Alyx has added over a million new VR users to Steam

>Damn, that controller is so manly.
>Wow, your mouse+keyboard is so COOL
There's no dignified way to play video games. Where you people draw the line is hilarious.

I wonder how many of them have already sold their headsets.

Valve says a lot of things.

>VR users now outnumber Linux users on the platform
You hurt my soul. Although it has been like that for a while.

I'm not sure if HLA is enough of a killer app to be honest. If Valve wanted a sustaining VR system seller, it would be a highly polished multiplayer games with tons of replay value and constant support to really cater to newcomer as well as the veteran of the medium, not just a AAA single player game that you put down after finishing it for 12 hours.

Then again, from a development perspective it's probably far easier to make a multiplayer game than a singleplayer with a high-budget campaign. They probably figure there will be no shortage of indie devs making shit like Pavlov.

>VRchat already has a UDON test map with portal guns
Not as dizzy as I thought it would be. Hopefully Valve or some modder sees that and tries to make the games full VR.

*gulp*
fuck... it was supposed to flop...... how can VR fucking outsell everything on the EGS?! WHATS FUCKING GOING ON!?

I agree but then again that's generally how Valve has worked in the past, so they're going to keep doing it. All of their highly polished multiplayer games are from mods they've acquired. I'm guessing they're probably still going by that playbook for VR.

The problem is that indie devs so far have not shown the competence to actually sustain that kind of multiplayer game. I enjoy Pavlov but it's also not a system-seller.

Games like Pavlov don't have to be a system-sellers, that's what flashy stuff like HLA is for. Those games need to just keep people still using their VR headsets so they don't resell them and write off VR as a gimmick. As long as people have indie stuff to tide them over in-between the big-budget releases VR as a niche gimmick will be fine

HL Alyx on the Index is an amazing experience and I hope you all can try it. Oculus is gay and i hate you

Multiplayer games like that have to be sustained with regular updates though, that's where the one-man indie stuff falls apart when it comes crashing into multiplayer stuff.

What the fuck are you implying? You mean my rainbow LED keyboard and three monitor setup doesn't match my thigh highs? Fuck you, I didn't shave my asshole and balls for nothing.

VR users now double Linux users on the platform, they've "outnumbered" them for a while
