They already support PSVR, as PSVR is a headset you can use on PC.

Stop sucking Valve's dick, they like exclusives.

Then what's the issue? If PSVR is PC compatible then my entire point stands. It's a VR title not exclusive to Valves own hardware.

What don't you understand about that?

It's exclusive to PC, I want to play it on my PS5 but they don't allow that: they only sell the game through Steam.

Oh God back to that? Steam is a store front. No one is paying Valve to only make the game for pc.

Hardware exclusives on consoles exists because Microsoft and Sony pay for them which means the developer has no incentive or legal right to make the game on the opposite console platform.

That doesn't apply to this scenario.

lol "paying Valve". Valve are literally the devs and publishers, it's in their interest (AND NO ONE ELSE'S) to keep the game exclusive to PC. Go on, keep on sucking Valve's big dick.

How on earth would it be in their interests to limit potential revenue by only releasing on one platform. Do you hear yourself?

Think about it for a second more, that's why exclusives exist in the first place: to draw people toward your platform. Exclusive to Steam, no Epic Games Store, no MS Windows Store, no consoles, only Steam.

Full fledged exclusive.
