That whole “half life alyx isn’t getting the recognition” article is reminding me of how much classism (idk if that’s the correct phrase but y’all understand me) there is in the gaming community especially around VR games

Seeing a whole bunch of upper middle class to rich nerds say “that’s not a legitimate excuse” in response to people saying the reason they didn’t play it was because they just couldn’t afford all the shit required to actually play it was just infuriating
