It's no different than requiring any other account. Oculus was facebook company since forever and everyone was fine with oculus account?
It's a cheaper product that's better than anything else out there aside from maybe index

I disagree because facebook are both a moral and ethically bankrupt company to the core. Valve arn't perfect either (like any company) but are miles and miles ahead of many others on being pro-consumer. It ain't a cheaper product if you put any value on companies sucking data out of your personal life. I just say no to any products from scumbag companies.
The index and it's controllers are better as well, but happy for you,

The index definitely takes the cake as being the best option. What you save on the quest you open your personal life to fagbook which is something a lot of people simply won't do me included as we understand the deeper ramifications and possibilities that might come with that.
That being said it's still far too expensive for my blood, maybe I'll dip into VR in 5 to 6yrs when it has matured more.

If i cared about that i wouldn't be using computers at all. I hate google, and most of all i hate Bill Gates and MS, even though i use their products for many, many hours every day. They are absolute scum of the earth, pure fucking evil.

Theres certainly enough content to get your moneys worth today, on the AAA front this title is pretty much unmatched at this point, suspect Valve is still the only company with enough capital and balls to run proper built from ground up VR productions like this so far.
Another generation of hardware + new Valve title that tops Alyx will certainly stoke the VR fire. I think they've made the right choice moving into the VR space, tons of untapped potential and innovation.
If you grew up from C64 era, this game provides that same feeliing you had when new generation games just blew away everything that came before it. Before gaming went mainstream and they started copy pasting the same durr1 durr2 durr3 durr.. durr8, assdurr1,2,3,4,5,6,7zzzz

@DXWarlock in the end everything has to be weighted - do i care more about that it's a scum company or do i care more about that i enjoy my hobby/work/social interactions.

Good for you guys, i dont though. I dont buy or use google, facebook, ea, acti and other shit companies products. If i feel a company fucked me one way or another I actually don't go back (like most people do) asking for more.

@vurt
Oh absolutely I just dont try myself, to cover my hypocrisy behind a veil of false nobility. (Not saying you, speaking of everyone in general.)
That for most people, the chance to be seen as standing against morally questionable practices depends on how much giving up that product inconveniences them. Most people only 'proudly' stand strong against the things, that coincidently, just happen to be things they could do without without much trouble to them.
I got a reverb g2 myself. But why I bought it has nothing to do with who makes it. Its what appealing features it had.
(getting way off topic here)
For example Chic-fil-a. Daughter is a HUGE lgbt supporter (not the 'reeee' type. A sensible 'just treat all people, like people' one). But she eats there ALL the time despite them openly admitting they use money they make to support anti-gay things. Why? Because she likes the chicken..The cause can be rationalized away with "Well if I didn't buy it some else would". Too much of a personal lose or inconvenience to give up something, in exchange for a belief.

It would not surprise me that they release the non VR version in 2024 since that will be the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2 as I am sure Valve has to have big plans for that anniversary of the series and Steam itself.

You can already play it without VR thanks to a mod:

it's nice but still pretty janky and lacks a few features. If the nicer mod is ever finished and isn't just vaporware I'll try it then.
Until then the price of the game isn't $9.99 or $60 it's always above a thousand dollars and I ain't made of money (unfortunately)

Is there any way to use the Steam Workshop mods on the yarr-version? With the OG version it would be pretty simple to launch them via Workshop I presume. I have added the game to Steam, but obviously it's only recognized as a third-party app and doesn't have this functionality...

Yes and I have tested it and it works fine. Google workshop downloader, put the mod's workshop link in and download the files.
Put the files in the /mods folder in a folder with the same file number of the mod
Example: game\bin\win64\steam_settings\mods\2600534901\2600534901.vpk
be sure to activate the addon in the addon options.
You're welcome bitch

So is the mod any better now? Seemed really awkward at release and i'd rather wait for someone to buy a VR headset i can borrow than play something that looked as ghetto as the initial non VR mod

i don't even understand how people have the time to bother with something like that. I mean there's an almost infinite amount of games to enjoy and that's what you chose? lol. I think with the amount of games possible to play it's sometimes very healthy to stop and think for a while what you want to spend your next 30-60h on instead of just going with whatever happens to be presented before your eyes on a forum or on steam.

VR fanboyism really got weird when Half Life Alyx came out. This was the first, and only, big mainstream game for the platform so far and I think a lot of the VR evangelists saw it as a big win for it. Most of these guys don't even seem to be actual Half Life fans so the fact that everyone else just wants to play the damn video game normally doesn't even really matter to them.
Who the fuck cares if someone plays the game using a shittier method? It literally does not concern them. It concerns the person playing the game. Thats it. Most people will understand the trade offs and probably still consider it a decent experience for the lore.
I mean personally I don't like to use VR it's a barf simulator for me but I still want to experience the first new Half-Life game in decades somehow because I love the franchise, it's a big part of my childhood so what's so hard to understand about that?
