VR will be popular one day.. but as of right now.. 3 VR games isn't going to please 95% of Steams community while EGS customers are playing The Outer Worlds, Borderland 3 and many more future timed exclusives.
Epic will most likely make another game that everyone can play while Valve are making games that not everyone can play, can you see the difference here?
We all want a HL3 but I don't want one unless its done right and I am happy to wait for, if that ever happens. For now I am looking forward to Black Mesa Xen.
Where have I been you asked? Playing PC games actually, Just tried out Darksiders 3, Darkness 2 and Furi (which was on sale) all on Steam. I guess I am just waiting for the next big AAA game but it seems I have to wait months to a year for some of them. Thanks for asking.

VR is taking off now. It's been popular with Sony and PC before that when you gander at Youtube. Dismissing 3 games by Valve is honestly hand waving what they're making. It's honestly sound massive like "make Hl3 or sod off" to me. I want Valve to make actual games, games that aren't a seuel to a dead game, with one writer left, because I don't want it to turn to utter garbage.
One single game from Epic isn't going to please everybody either, just like how a large chunk of this planet doesn't like Minecraft. If you're going to use an argument like that, to do away with 3 games that have spent years in dev, then the same can be used against other games as well. Just because they aren't your cuppa, doesn't mean they are no one's cuppa.
I'm not even into VR atm, but I'm going to give props to Valve for not only getting 3 VR games out, but also a headset of their own and a very nifty set of knuckle controllers, which for what they can do, do a far better job than what's currently out there on the market.
"future timed", yeah, but they land on Steam, so really, at the end of the day, Steam users get Valve's 3 VR games and those timed games in the end, and since Valve have more features and more games on their store to begin with, that still gives them the superior advantage. That and the store key deals as well, which Epic hardly has, nor wants to support for "exclusive" titles.
What game will this be pray tell?. Again, very cock sure about the future like your previous talk about MS and knowing the definitive future. Tell me what definitive, definitely going to happen future, where Epic releases this game that absolutely everyone will play, where they basically become akin to Google in popularity (because the smug guy recently talks like he's going to become that big, and you're obviously setting up this unannounced game to being something earth shattering). No there is no difference, this is you just downplaying anything Valve could ever possibly do, and I bet you'd be willing to use that last part as a mirror retort, to do away with what I just said, instead of realizing the actual difference.
Not everyone wants HL3. I don't, because the majority of writers are gone, time has passed greatly, and the spark that was once had has very greatly diminished. Now it's just a small bunch egging on Valve to make whatever they can of a game, without the original writers, to a point where it's clearly and obviously not going to live up to their expectations, to which those same people will grab bats and start beating Valve "why didn't you make it perfect like we asked?", without fucking known the circumstances for why the dream is dead. I hate and will loathe people who wish to see something tarnished, just for the sake of a dopamine fix I don't want new shitty writers added in. I want the original writers back, I want the original spark, not some shitty 343 type spark, where it clearly ended up fucking with the lore of another certain game. I've seen it in god damn movies and I don't want to see it in games. Same goes for Fable.
People that don't care for the actual substance and lore, have no right to talk about wanting anything, quite literally, get out for anyone that doesn't care about what makes something special. I also don't want a Hl 4,5,6,7,8,9, you know, like Ass Creed. Spamming franchises into the ground doesn't make them objectively good either. This desire to spam something, until *you* get bored of it, is what ruins gaming, because in all that time, we could be getting brand new IP's, brand new ideas for another game, rather than the same game over and over again.
I look forward to you in depth review and talk of Xen when it arrives. I'd like to see the dedication to this franchise, that I've only heard your interest in, within the past year. (Also, stop by the main PC forum, even some console users are asking for rig help).
It sounds like you've been under a rock, because in all honesty, you haven't been very involved with PC gaming on here until a year and a half at best. You've made the odd few comments, but nothing in terms of making your own PC related threads, that aren't designed to signal boost Epic or the Win 10 store, or going on about an unreleased HL episode.
That's a shame for you. Could always grab them on that #1 store of yours in the meantime. I've grabbed myself Tropico 6, since those devs aren't being total douchebags and signing exclusivity deals. Was originally going to look into buying the latest Anno, but Ubisoft clearly wants to pull out of Steam, and thus doesn't want my money, so I guess I don't want any of their games anymore. Also the latest Two Point Hospital DLC is out, as well as Seven's DLC (free of course).
