DarthBuzzard here as the rumors thread has been closed in favor of this one.
You do realize that there are many disabled people using VR right now, even at a pro E-Sports competitor level I've seen a few disabled users. VR is actually a boon for the disabled in many cases, because it lets them do things that real life can't allow them to.
Most likely, this game will be built to allow for seated play with as much attention put into such comfort options as possible.
Seriously it's amazing how toxic people can get when it comes to accessibility in gaming. I literally saw someone today say "Fuck VR" because they had only had one eye which means nothing as they can still use VR, and if it's not entirely gone they might even regain vision due to VR. But never-mind that. "I'm disabled so I get to bash anything I want at face value and no one else should be allowed to have fun." is what some of these people genuinely think.
How shameless that someone feels they can lecture me on what disabled people should and should feel aggrieved by. And to dismiss concerns expressed in a clear, precise manner by calling them "toxic" is shameful beyond belief. I was not criticizing or attacking all VR. And then to lump me in with someone saying "fuck VR" as all disabled people have the same views is beyond shameful. I'll keep campaigning and agitating for games to be accessible to as many people as possible, no matter how much people try to shut me up and attack me for doing it.

VR being a fuck you to disabled gamers is a new take, I'll give you that.
In the Netherlands they gave kids in hospital beds HMDs so they don't feel like stuck inside all day. Heres two vids of it being used to let people confined to wheelchairs or housebound to experience the feeling of the outside world again.
Again, more ridiculous ablesplaining of a point I already clearly acknowledged if you had just read my posts. I never said all VR experiences are a fuck you to disabled people. I'm disabled. I don't need lecturing on the benefits of VR for some disabled people. I know them perfectly well. I was expressing my concerns about
room scale VR experiences without the proper work being taken to make them accessible. all I said in my post, if you read it, was that if this is both room scale and PCVR only, it is a step towards making games more for able-bodied people and that's a shame. I will be the first to applaud Valve if they have the proper accessibility options a game like this should have and obviously then my concern will then be unfounded. Stop the dogpiling crap and actually read what I said.
