    To me it seems like the VR market might have a high-end foothold but otherwise seems like a “ok, try again in 30 years” for the general market (so, slightly better than 3D TV’s fate). Which isn’t really Valve-specific.

    Though I’d also say <top level comment> is uncharitable way to frame it, the headline reminds me of the free PC codes for Portal 2 with Co-op crossplay early on in the Steam days. Though I’m sure AI-market-induced cost increase is a big part of it so apology actually isn’t a bad way to put it, without ‘failure’ factoring in.

        Tell us without telling us

        Still using a 1050Ti, non-fiber internet, not buying stuff, and not even the right kind of sad for that.
        Mark Zuckerburg sniping me for sport is a more likely scenario.

        Uhhh, a friend said its unconformable, you get the headset more sweaty than usual, the lenses fog up, then you need to put down a controller to free your wanking hand, and then run the risk of getting nut on $1000 hardware.

        Most the porn games with vr support also suck.

          Honestly, vr porn is if anything less sweaty than most other vr games that have you moving your entire body around. With my Quest 2, a 3rd party fan exhaust attachment eliminated any humidity issues. Gesture control mode took care of no controllers.
