I'm surprised how popular the Index HMD is, but I'm sure giving away Half Life: Alyx has something to do with that.

Giving away a $40 - $50 game if you invest $500 - $1000... I don't know if that is really a deciding factor for such an investment.

That was poorly worded from my side. What I meant to say is that for hardcore Half Life fans that have been waiting for years for a new game, I'm sure it was an added bonus that made them finally cave in and buy the VR helmet.

Also, and on another note, Guru3D noticed that, against all odds, Intel processors have raised in the survey and have a theory about why it's that:
