Yes they are? Their latest flagship game literally only works on their hardware.
- oivey 6y agoAre you talking about Half Life: Alyx? It works on basically any VR headset as far as I know. I think they just need to be SteamVR compatible which basically everything is.
- mdoms 6y agoMaybe, as soon as I heard it was VR only I stopped paying attention. But the point still stands - Valve is very much a hardware business, has been for years.
- Jochim 6y agoI wouldn't characterise them as a hardware business, their main focus is on software and they happen to be willing to produce hardware when they feel they need to.
- filoleg 6y agoJust to confirm, you are correct, it works on almost any mass-market headset (probably on all headsets period, but I cannot verify that myself). So far, I can confirm for a fact it works on HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus Rift S, and Oculus Quest 1/2 (in wired mode connected to PC, just like the other headsets, or using VR Desktop for wireless; I tried both and stuck to playing it with wireless).
- akhilcacharya 6y agoI've played Alyx three times on two different VR headsets by two manufacturers and this is definitely not true.
