NoFrag: People don't care about Half-Life anymore | ResetEra
Will it sell mostly off the ip or mostly off being a good vr game?

translated from french, thought it was sadly interesting :Wonder how well Half Life Alyx will sell.
Half-Life n'intéresse plus les joueurs | NoFragnofrag.com
release of HL2 ep 2 compared to announcement of HL Alyx, in google search for " Half Life "
Compared to other FPS franchises :
To promote the franchise and let players catch up on the history of HL, Valve made all the HL games free 2 play for a few months, but it failed to capture much traction with a very low amount of players returning to the games :
Its great to see Valve making a AAA game again, going back to HL universe and taking a bold stance on VR making a real experience tailored for the hardware but even if its the best game in the world, the game won't sold much with such a steep hardware price requierement and its impact might but extremely limited...
As for the future of HL, lets hope their recent announcement about going back to the franchise with Alyx is their acknowlegment of this game being way to hard to acess for the mass market.
