I'd be surprised if they decided to make a massive new title catering to the 20 people who have got a VR headset

What a strange statement
you have absolutely no idea

there are millions of VR headsets sold worldwide

but if its HL-3, then they are right to keep it non-VR, its their way, and i understand that

HL-Aylyx was a one off. they may do a number 2, but well have to wait and see on that one

Yeah I have one, collects dust mainly as there are about 10 worthwhile titles and a load of shovel ware waggle your arms about type games. The only people I see using them often (other than kids) are sim enthusiasts and whether you like it or not it's a tiny audience compared to non-vr.

Edit: that was needlessly argumentative, apologies.

I don't play PC FPS as the motion sickness gets me every time - and my aim sucks with a keyboard & mouse, but in VR (with teleport option) I think FPS games are great and so much more immersive than just staring at a 2D screen. I know I'm in the minority but I just won't spend money on HL-3 (or any FPS game) if there's no VR option.

Fair, but millions will.
 
Given we've now got, Alyx no-vr mod.. and Half Life 2 VR mod.. I can't see any reason why a huge cash rich company like Valve wouldn't release their next game with both modes enabled, so those that prefer VR can play that way and those that don't can play flat screen..

If they did this I doubt they would put the the same effort into VR as they did with Alyx, (all the little touches are amazing in and of themselves!), but as long as it's fully playable with 6DOF in VR, i'm not sure many who'd prefer VR will care..
