But how many people are going to spend $2000+ to play this? You're building a new gaming PC and possibly buying a new VR headset just for this game?

Yes.

Yep. I'm planning on spending around $2500 just to play this game. I don't even care if it's the only game I play on it. With the VR tools they're releasing, I (and everyone I've talked to about this) expect Garry's Mod 2: VR to come out of this.

  Actually the "Garry's Mod 2: VR" will be that game-changing VR game.

Nearly every "gamer" I know is planning on getting VR just for this. Purely anecdotal but actually a lot.

I'm also 24, and I can tell you I will absolutely be spending $1000 for the Valve VR headset (I've not previously owned VR) and any other PC upgrades to be able to play this game.

  huh, are all 24 year olds buying into this? Also 24 years old, also planning to build a PC that's VR ready. I probably won't splurge $1000 for the Valve index, but I might buy their controllers + Oculus (which by the way also gets you Half-Life: Alyx for free).

    I feel like this game is the biggest thing to happen in video games since we became adults.

    Heads up, the Index controllers can't be easily made to work with Oculus headsets. They can easily be added to Vive or Pimax headsets though.

Absolutely. I don't think you understand how important this game is.

  I don't either. There are games that I also really like, so I think I understand the drive, but I won't put myself into debt for entertainment. I'd rather wait a year or two for prices to fall.

I have not played an FPS for over a decade, and am considering buying a PC for this.

you can easily get under $1000 if you stick to base specs and get a Rift S.

Anecdotal, but I'm in my thirties and the first thing I did after watching the trailer was pre-ordering the Valve Index at where I live (Japan).
