Reports: Valve making their own VR HMD and apparently a new VR Half-Life

Quoting: Gobo
Quoting: kuhpunktI'm still baffled how many people think that HL3 would be a VR game. That makes no sense and would be a very very dumb idea.
No, it's a decades old practice called "system seller".

Bundle the new HMD with other hardware like controllers, steam link, a steam box with the most prominent games store and you will be able to build your own eco system.

Might not be the most possible way to work out in this case, but it's certainly not unheard of.
But VR is no system. The PC/Steam is the system. It's not like it's a new console generation, where you need to follow the natural evolution of hardware.

If HL3 would be only in VR... don't you think people would be pissed big time? People that just want to play the game and see where the story goes next. They can't do that if they have to invest in additional hardware for A LOT of money.

Also the gameplay has to be changed rather drastically.

So you don't know what it means. You just use it as an insult, because that's the person you are.

Quoting: GuestCome on, hashtags are serious business that can be 'abused' now? What has the world come to man? People actually care about hashtags? For real?
Of course they can be abused to gain attention. That's what happened.

Quoting: GuestAnd yes I know what autistic means... obviously.
Then enlighten me.

Quoting: PatolaIt even raises awareness that such motto exists.
That's baffling. What's next? Will Proton be the #FinalSolution for playing games on Linux? Look, I raised awareness to the Holocaust!
No you didn't (or rather wouldn't if tweeted). You'd make fun of 6 million murdered people by using an euphemism used solely by the Nazi for their genocide. That's not raising awareness. That's just plain stupid. Or vile. I get triggered on that since I hear such "funny quotes" much more frequently in recent times, both from "normal people" and politicians.
So you're completely ignoring the context...

Quoting: the3dfxdudeLame alternatives
* Can't Disappear -- sounds too similar to the movement
* Stop the Delete -- still thinking there is a political bogeyman behind it
* No Locking Us Out -- now we are starting to hit some irony and still not too different

Quoting: PatolaThis is illogical.
It's perfectly logical. It's exactly what happened. You really don't seem to grasp that.

Quoting: the3dfxdudeBut why highlighting it publicly by people that are very biased against GOG is a good thing? They already apologized. Nothing more needs to be said. The only purpose this articles serves is to create division, and that is not gaming-related. The gaming theme is a false backdrop.
Did you miss the fact that Liam brought this only up to offer an explanation for why Hinterland dropped GOG? That's what the article is about.

Quoting: 14We all, at least in the U.S., say we like free speech, right? Isn't using an arbitrary hashtag the wild-wild West style of free speech that people say they want?
What does one thing have to do with the other? You're free to speak. You can say what you want, but don't expect everybody to be happy with what you said. That's exactly what's happening here.
