Instead we got Half Life: Alyx

Only if you're rich enough to afford VR setup. Fuck me for being born in a third world country, right Gabe?

Don't threaten them with a good time.

And are physically abled to play in VR.

I had a VR Headset (Vive Cosmos), but my eyes just aren't up scratch, so I could never enjoy it.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn't make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.

Literally how? All you needed was a computer that could run games, which if you were into gaming on PC, you already had.

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn't have.

But that was not exclusive to HL2. That's for every AAA PC game released at the time. Don't tell me you could run GTA:VC but not HL2.

VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

False equivalency. Most games these days, and for the foreseeable future, aren't VR.
