No, nobody can say that, as flight sticks are actually giving better gaming experience for the games they are designed for. Also price has very little to do with why VR gaming is shit. Even if they give them for free it's a hassle to set up and actually play games, so your point that poor people are the reason VR is not popular is wrong.

I have no idea from where this pic is. Tho it could be from Bulgaria,here people are not big on bureaucracy and legal obstructions. Just put three steal beams and a floor and you have fucking balcony . How many nation could brag about the architectural skillz of their average citizen in such a way?

I'm sorry that you're too poor to afford a gaming PC, let alone any new Tech and even have problems getting proper food, but you don't always have to take your misery and butthurt out on others. I wouldn't worry about it, in a few years the tech will progress enough to drip down to the economically challenged, making it useable while inhabiting cardboard boxes and other gypsy communes and then even you can partake.

When you have only money,you build everything else around it. Ahhh sad little fuck,i don't really hate you,i pity you.

So being summoned here by our local augmentation fetishist,i decided to post at least something funny that i saw on crack watch.

Well I'm a rich AmeriKwan and can tell you VR is one of the most overhyped and overrated pieces of tech to ever hit PC gaming.

I hope VR takes over so I can finally stop buying new video game software.

 

[Morgoth]

If that's a fake trailer for Left 4 Dead 3, they sure put a lot of effort into it:

 

[StrongBelwas]

Couldn't it be that Back 4 Blood game Turtle Rock is making with WB ?
EDIT: Well nevermind

 

[LESS T_T]

Confirmed fake. https://www.pcgamer.com/this-leaked...-is-very-well-done-but-almost-certainly-fake/

Update: Sorry, folks, but mere minutes after our story went live, Valve confirmed that the teaser is in fact a fake. It's still pretty cool though. You can read my our initial thoughts on the presumed-fakeness of the video in the original story below:

 

[LESS T_T]

Two big releases, Imperator and MK11, and two indie games are on the top. But like other big releases they have separated entries so...

#10 - MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD
#9 - Imperator: Rome Deluxe Edition Prepurchase
#8 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
#7 - Imperator: Rome Prepurchase
#6 - Mortal Kombat 11
#5 - Imperator: Rome
#4 - Mortal Kombat 11
#3 - PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS
#2 - Risk of Rain 2
#1 - Forager

MORDHAU? MORDHAU. MORDHAU! Spring is for indie hits?

And Valve is spamming.

#10 - Human: Fall Flat
#9 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
#8 - MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD
#7 - UBOAT
#6 - Risk of Rain 2
#5 - Valve Index Headset + Controllers
#4 - Valve Index Controllers
#3 - PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS
#2 - Valve Index VR Kit
#1 - MORDHAU

Also Imperator assassinated, Mortal Kombat fatalitied, Forage foraged.

 

[Luka-boy]

Whoa, Uboat #7? That's impressive.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Whoa, Uboat #7? That's impressive.

Is it impressive though? Or is it a sign of the end coming for Valve and Steam when a submarine simulator reaches the top 10 sellers in a week. A sign that true gaming enthusiasts are looking elsewhere to make their purchases. Somewhere better for developers. Somewhere epic, where niche and shit titles like Uboat wouldn't even be sold so as not to clutter the storefront and add noise to the signal of better games. Just something to consider, fellow human.

 

[Latelistener]

Looks like bits of new interface:

 

[Solid Snail]

Looks like bits of new interface:

Yeah, but I don't like it. I mean, it's just different from the previous one, but it's not better, just different for no real purpose. We'll see.

 

[A_boring_GOG_bot]

MORDHAU? MORDHAU. MORDHAU! Spring is for indie hits?

* laughs at the gameplay trailer *

Still Mordhau. But also Divine.

Rage and Total War are coming up as release dates are approaching.

#10 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
#9 - Human: Fall Flat
#8 - Total War: THREE KINGDOMS
#7 - Risk of Rain 2
#6 - Valve Index VR Kit
#5 - RAGE 2
#4 - Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition
#3 - PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS
#2 - Grand Theft Auto V
#1 - MORDHAU

Also, did you notice PUBG is at third place 6 weeks straight.

 

[Silentstorm]

Kinda suprised Human:Fall Flat is still selling, haven't actually played the game, but have seen a few videos and it just seems like a boring and slow puzzle game, the only difference being that you can walk around and play with others, but there must be many other and better multiplayer games, right?

Everything else somewhat makes sense and i am not that suprised by those, just Human:Fall Flat for looking so dull, even the puzzles don't seem that hard or well made from what i have seen.

Wow: https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-glitch

Steam glitch gives away certain paid games for free

Last week, a visual novel called Glare1more jumped from its average player count of 0.8 to reach 34,469 concurrent players. The game has Steam trading cards, and it briefly went free during that time, so the jump in players (and bots) looking to harvest those cards is to be expected. The problem is that the developer never intended for the game to be free.

Instead, it looks like this was a Steam glitch – one that let players pick up a free copy of Glare1more by clicking a single button on the game’s SteamDB page. The same thing happened with RPG Maker title Fantasya Final Definitiva REMAKE, and its developer noted over 175,000 copies of the game getting “activated illegally.”

YouTuber SidAlpha hit the Steamworks developer forums to dig up some developer insight on what’s happening, and it appears to be an issue with turning free game packages into paid ones. Both games mentioned above had free versions – one was available for a PC cafe programme, and the other had a free demo.

In both cases, the APIs that SteamDB pulls directed the free links to paid versions of the game, and it seems this issue has affected dozens small developers. A thread on SteamGifts shows many of the affected titles, though most of the glitches have been fixed at this point.

We’ve reached out to Valve for comment, and will update if we hear more.

While in most cases, the free games have been removed entirely from the libraries of users who took advantage of the glitch, there’s still a lasting affect – the influx of trading card farmers in these games means the market’s been flooded with cards, and the value of the drops attached to each game have dropped precipitously.
