    The index has been out of stock for more than a month now (Europe warehouses I guess) and I haven't heard any news about when it's going to be available again ? I'm afraid people are going to rush-buy it when it becomes available once again and I miss it.

    Does anyone know anything aout the Valve Index stocks ?

    Makes me feel better that a veteran like you has my same GPU (I have the M version in my laptop of course). Thought to remember you were playing Resident Evil 2 at highest settings? That doesn’t work on mine.

    someone’s getting fired?

    Oh I played RE2 on the PS4 pro, looks awesome there. I barely play any games on PC nowadays, I just like the practicality of the PS4 or the Switch. The 970 is a great card, plus I like making my game on an average/common graphics card, if it doesn't run on my PC, it also wouldn't run on other people's. So it forces me to do some performance work as I go. :)

    Yeah, it’s a good benchmark. My friend that develops even more minimal games works/runs on an integrated card to ensure of the lowest common denominator :D

    They'll propably look out for private beta testers for the SDK, some point after the release should they plan to release it. I did a short period of testing on CSGO hammer in advance and still have the ' Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta - SDK' as Retail on my account.

    Call me jaded but my instincts tell me something happened and it's being kept from us.

    Is it just me or did Valve shit the bed, and not realize it until Boneworks came out?! Seems like Valve never figured anything out, so they had several movement styles all as 'options', and then to save face at the 11th hour they straight up pretend like you can play Alyx kinda like Boneworks.

    I just don't believe Valve at all. . . last piece of content was from November. They don't have actual good content to show, I bet they're recreating swaths of Alyx to catch up to the newfangled idea. These same people released Artifact and thought Dynamic Weapon Pricing in CSS was a good idea.

    Sorry for being so negative, but there is a stink in the air.

    You saying they are copying Boneworks? 0_o is not like they didn’t know about that game ages ago, they actually had some relationship with the devs. Also what makes you think they won’t release the SDK?

    @blackdog All Valve did was create a bunch of art over the years, Boneworks team actual did all the figuring out it seems.

    Aren't you too old to think that you get assigned to a position based on how old you are?

    You really want to go there?

    People here want to have a discussion about HL Alyx and of course the one and only you have to say ruins the discussion for a while. Happens every time because you always seem to post over-dramatic stuff that completely derails whats going on. You could be a lot more neutral and a lot more sensible with your concerns about the SDK. Instead you decided Valve is a lying shadow corporation that for some reason despises its users and wants to mess with them.

    The reality with the SDK is, they need to test it first to make sure it works well before they fully release. Same thing has happened with every new game that uses a new version of source.

    Don't worry guys, Steam has you backed up. There's been recent... special developments, titles such as Cuckold Simulator and Lust Epidemic. Steam doesn't discriminate and neither will we.

    Going back on track with the discussion, now that we have confirmation from the recent AMA that there won't be a S2 SDK and only limited authoring tools contained to levels within HLA.

    I like how they dodged all the questions about alyx's voice actor.
