The thing about valve, and I don't mean this as a criticism, but I have to imagine Steam is basically their business now. The games and the VR stuff are fun side projects that hopefully turn out well, but they're pretty much just printing money by being the publisher of almost every game.
- Negitivefrags 10y agoThe reason SteamVR exists is because if VR is successful, then it could have been a point where customers could have jumped to another storefront. By establishing SteamVR, and attempting to make SteamVR work with any headset, valve has basically ensured that if VR does turn out to be successsful, Steam will still be the shop you use to buy the games for it. They managed to cut off a possible existential threat to their steam business model that could have come in the future.
