Seems like kind of a weird gesture given that Alyx was released only three years ago. By Valve standards, that's still considered hot off the presses.
- And Alyx is incredible
  
  I've only had a select few genuine "holy fuck" moments during gaming where I have genuinely been stunned. One being Mario 64 in 1996, the other being Half Life Alyx.
  
  It's a shame it's in a medium that restricts how many people can actually play the thing. The VR-less mod does the game a huge disservice.
- I'm going to guess most people into half life aren't going to sink $1000 into computer upgrades and a VR headset.
  
  Half-Life: Alyx doesn't require a NASA PC, and you can play it on cheaper headsets like Quest 2, or even older used ones like Rift S or HTC Vive
- Are you telling me a new Half Life game came out three years ago and I missed it?
  
  VR only
- My impression from participating was that it was more for fun rather than trying to make a statement. It was cool to see multiple full servers.
Yeah, the numbers also show that TF2 has always been alive and popular. Valve don't care about anything.
;( Compleatly missed this. Would have joined for sure.
I call my daughter half-life 3

I don't have a daughter
