Even if I did believe you, why should I?

>Valve ruins half life 3 by putting it behind a 700 dollar pay wall
>Valve goes from selling hats for virtual reality games
>To selling games for virtual reality hats
Makes sense.

I could see them adding VR to the Orange Box titles but then that would get "WHERES THREE?".
So they probably won't.

Traditional FPS don't really work well in VR. I played HL2 with the oculus and while stuff flying at you was a pretty cool effect, but you move too fast and unnaturally which made you instantly sick to your stomach.

Fucking kill me. Imagine only being able to play the sequel to the famed Chrono Trigger but only if you use a Playstation with a Win 10 OS and a Oculus Rift with a MadCatz controller and if you're missing any of these things, you can't play the game.
These people need to fuck off right to hell where they belong.

I never even thought of motion sickness being a thing. I mean it makes sense but i never would have thought it to be such an immersive experience.
This makes for a little interesting read.

Valve staff is not allowed to comment on Half-Life. They're instructed that they should say "no" (or the equivalent) to every question regarding Half-Life.
A writer does not determine which games Valve will work on or which games will use VR.

How is that salty? I mean i don't believe bait OP but even if we were to entertain the idea putting a game behind a 700 dollar pay wall would be incredibly shitty thing to do.
That's not including the cost of a good enough computer to handle it.
At this rate i fear VR is dead in the water except for people that reeeaaalllyyy reeeeaaaallllyyy want to and can afford it.
