And how they have literally billions to play around and do wtf ever they want with their flat management structure. So happens, enough of them wheeled their desks over to the VR corner, and made a new HL game. Probably because VR is a new exciting toy. Don't worry, they will get tired of it soon enough, probably before HL3. And since they never outsource their IP's for game development after they made steam, no one else will do it either. It's a pity, they could keep full creative control and have studios make all sorts of games. Studios that could actually deliver something because of that thing called Milestones.
Too expensive to have developed this game for both VR AND PC? How much were they paid by VR developers to make it VR exclusive?
