      my personal game of the year is Half Life Alyx, a game which has sold approx. 500,000 copies, which sounds like a big number in gaming terms until you realize animal crossing sold 30 million copies in 9 months. skyrim has sold 30 million copies and that came out in 2011.https://twitter.com/hellenus/status/1337743331078508548 …

      I think alyx is the best video game ever made but it's got like a fraction of the impact of animal crossing lmao

      in some lights alyx can be viewed as a stupendous failure; a massive, AAA release of that scale which only sold half a million units, BUT it massively increased the install base for VR (100,000 Valve indexes were sold in the wake of its announcement), plus:

      valve tends to do things to see if they can rather than 'will this make money' and releasing a game of such incredible fidelity and production value is very them. despite the lower sales figures due to being a VR title millions of people watched alyx on streams, and valve

      Animal Crossing came out at the perfect time, bringing a sense of calm and routine when the real world was (and still is) inaccessible. That said, the game itself feels largely similar to the others in the series, it's just that so many people discovered it this year.

      I agree with you on Half-Life: Alyx! Incredible technical achievement with such clever solutions to common design problems. I hope developers learn from it but at this point it feels like the VR market is slowing down. Might just be because I'm no longer working in it. :)
