eMagin: Once Burned Twice Shy: Makes sense that Valve sells the 2.0 at cost to sell those games. Speculative comment at the top but sure jibes with other circumstances.

Quick overview

Multiple Sources have confirmed Valve is working on a Headset
Valve is going to sell the headset at cost.
Valve's goal is to try and kick start the Enthuses VR market. Aka stop people from moving to a mobile/Quest Market.
The headset might have some type of feedback (maybe vibration or something built in the headset itself?)
Headset has been in development at least since 2015
The headset will be Release with knuckles controlers
HLVR isn't as confirmed as the headset, but it still is very likely that it is happening.
HLVR will be a prequl to HL2 and the player will play as Alyx.
