Might have been cool if they provide 3D models, but it's just an affiliate marketing SDK.

Having free access to 3D models of real world objects might even worth the interaction.

The firm said the SDK helps gamemakers bring real-world products into gameplay, "bridg[ing] the gap between virtual gameplay and real-world retail" and permitting players to link their Walmart accounts and complete secure purchases without leaving their game.

So it's just direct integration with a fulfillment platform to ease merch transactions?

... dafuq?

There's already a Walmart in Roblox

There's one in tear down as well but the advantage of that is you can blow it up. Or rip it apart with a hurricane. Or nuke it.

Teardown is so fun. Haven't finished the story, but I love fucking around with the workshop maps and crazy mod tools/weapons.

As someone who has way too many prop and item add-ons for GMod, I kind of agree.

I'm a sucker for admiring highly detailed objects. I've wanted to get HL: Alyx for a long time so I could just look at everything up close

HL: Alyx was worth getting a roomscale VR setup.

I want to do it right when I get it. I want to be able to use all my fingers and just be in the world

Make sure you get the Index controllers. 100% designed for them, and they make interscting with objects so much more natural
