  • Also Covid? Seriously? If anything Covid should‘ve accelerated development on VR games

    Your claim was that the game was a failure, my point with COVID was that you would have been extra wrong about that had there not been a pandemic limiting how many headsets they could actually sell, which was the point of the game. In the world that we got they sold out and had Back-orders for a year, had there not been a global pandemic those Back-orders would have been sales, and likely many who couldn’t buy one would have been able to as well

    The rest of your comment shows you have 0 idea how Valve works internally. The whole studio doesn’t just work on one project, there are smaller teams that pick and choose what they do. This is why Valve tends to release shit a couple years apart that are wildly different (Alyx and Artefact), but 5-8 years between similar products (Portal 2 and Alyx). It being 5 years or more since their last major VR release is to be expected from them, not a sign of failing at anything


  • 5 years old now and what has Valve released for VR since?

    You know Valve has released a whopping 3 things total in that timespan (didn’t include deadlock cuz I’m not sure that’s officially released yet), right? A free steam deck teaser, the card game they’ve been working on for a while, and the CSGO 2 update

    Valve works slow, my guy

    A single game isn‘t gonna make a hardware

    Good thing there are a shit ton of other games, then

    It was a failure in the end of the day

    No it wasn’t, you high? They sold out of Indexes around the games launch. Would have sold more if not for COVID, too


  • My co-workers saw me turn almost sheet-white before spending the next 45 minutes throwing up in the company bathroom, trying to drive home and having to go to the ER halfway because I was throwing up and dehydrating so badly I could barely move my hands anymore

    Even with a doctor’s note management and HR were like “ok but did you have to call out sick the next day tho?”

    I eventually quit a month or so later when they tried to write me up for not coming in while being sick after our entire delivery driver team (who only directly interact with me) all got sick and spent 3 weeks coming in and sneezing on me

    Fuck the US
