It was the same for HL2 though

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.
