This is an interesting take, especially coming from a non-gaming focused tech website like Ars Technica. I feel like it’s been too long since people were truly hyped about half life 3 though, and this wouldn’t be enough, even if Valve did go through with it.

People are increasingly unhappy with windows though, and the EoL of windows 10 may push people to Linux anyways.

    Yeah, I can play Alyx just fine with point and click movement, aside from my head getting ridiculously hot, but full-motion like boneworks wrecks me in 10 minutes.

    Even if Alyx is “crippled” it’s by far the best VR content that exists, by an incredibly wide margin. (I’m too lazy to check but I also think you can change it to full motion.)

    It should be noted that I don’t get motion sickness in other contexts like in vehicles, rollercoasters, acrobatic aircraft, etc.
