TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a "Frame Verified" status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

And here I just want Half Life 3 to be Linux exclusive for 1 year. I mean, if you make a console-like, you might as well go some exclusives. :)

Exclusives are bullshit.

Linux can be installed on any computer for free, so I wouldn't call not making a Windows binary exclusive, unless all the games I need Proton to run are exclusive too.

If Windows users want to play Half Life 3 they can just ask Microsoft to make a reverse WINE lol

Sound logic.
