I decided that my own reasoning was actually very convincing. So I reserved myself a full set. I'd actually be fine if the delivery date would be pushed back a little further since I don't think the middle of summer is the best time to spend with such a device on your head. :D

Must have been Epic money at work.

Because while they can remove it from the store, the still have to maintain the game for current owners. So it just means more work.

On Steam it says "Requires 3rd-Party Account: Last Epoch". Why does a single player game need a 3rd party account?

Quoting: GuestWell, to be fair, what you end up with is still a price for this VR kit that people will balk at, regardless of whether it's a fair price from a manufacturer perspective or not.

The interesting thing is that there is a lot of tunnel vision behind this. Last year I went on a 10 day holiday and was down a thousand euro. Nobody blinks an eye if you tell that. If I now take that money to buy this thing and take my week off to use it, people will look at you like you just wasted a ton of money. Perception is a weird thing.

Quoting: DerpFoxThe full pack should have been at 500€ MAXIMUM to be interesting. And at that price it would still have been really expensive. And a good price would have been 300€.

I agree! And my house should have cost no more than €10000, because that would have been a good price!

Have had my eye on this one since the start. Patiently awaiting a Linux release though.

NuSuey beat you to it? Did you check if he's ok? That must have been a substantial shock! :D

Oh cool! I wonder if they've also moved from OpenGL to Vulkan.

What would you like to see improved next in the Steam Client?

Tagging, tagging and tagging.

I cannot possibly be the only one who want to use these multidimensionally, like
* played through / given up / unplayed / give a second chance
* gift / advertising gift
* genre
* co-op / couch co-op / solo / online competetive
* ...

Yes, but some of the tags I'd want for filtering (genres), others I'd want for hiding (finished, windows). Not entirely sure how you would make that into a nice gui.

Quoting: NezchanI think one problem shooters have is that "somewhat skillful at such games" seems to be the base for them. There's no entry level at all, you just need to already be good somehow (or willing to put up with a lot of frustration) in order to play them in the first place.

This seems to be a legacy from the 80s. With the memory limitations of the time, these autoscrolling games couldn't really have more than about 20-30 minutes of actual level. So they couldn't really have you blow through that in one go. Seems like modern shmups have changed little in that regard.
