Is VR a big market? I used a few of the early devices and was impressed but not moved to invest in it (before Alyx was announced I had regular access to a private Vive setup in a dedicated room.) Two friends bought Oculus but lost interest after a while. They haven't touched them in over a year and one friend has kids who don't care about it at all. Gamer people I know either don't care about it or like me think it's cool but not compelled to invest in. They lack compelling titles. For me to play Alyx, I'd have to invest hundreds of dollars on hardware in addition to buying the game. I can play hl2 right now on my existing PC.

Maybe I'm not enough of a hardcore gamer to like DOTA or MOBA style games. I loved TF2 but you can only play for so long.

I would like to see Valve come up with some fresh new imaginative IP that isn't something decades old. Half life was a ground breaking game and to this day I will fire it up and play through about once a year after I get the urge. On a rail was my favorite part. I feel dread when I get to Zen because I know the end of the game is near.
