Seems portal, half life 3 vr, dota VR, etc etc may be coming to fruition, seems buzz is starting.  Not on oculus home of course.  I am curious does the community feel that Valve would be unfair to make half life 3 vr a vive/lg hmd exclusive being that Oculus poached abrash and other valve employees from them in an unethical underhanded way?  Would gaben go so far as to actually drive a blow into the heart of darkness here?  Luckey, gaben, abrash all used to be friends, what happened?

Please explain?  Because as far as I've known OF Michael Abrash, he's always been a genius level ethical guy.  Plus, didn't he persuade Valve to get into VR because of his friendship with Carmack; and he only worked for Valve a handful of years so it's not like he was a "key" employee to Valve's business.

I'm not a violent person but I want to punch anyone that even uses the term 'walled garden'. No offense.

You realize that Abrash is a person who can choose where he wants to work? He wasn't stolen, he was offered an opportunity that clearly he accepted. Valve didn't own him.

Hey you go where you know you will find support amd as soon as Vavle announced they would not be producing a headset of their own he did the smart thing.
He went to the company that didnt have its head up its keyster.

Mind you now Valve is going to be just fine they make so much in software sales not producing a unit is actually a benifit for them.
They have litteraly created a place where they scoop up wads of money for doing nothing.
Brillant!

Haha

i actually say 32 or under leaving myself lots of room to be correct 😄 .

I figured he would of melted down by 32 but he was out of the gate running this time without even any build up, 11 is a new record, i have a feeling one was only 15 before
