Only way they can support VR is using Oculus API or Steam VR API. And to use those you need to have Oculus client or Steam installed. Also Epic Client is not VR friendly as far as i know and there are no any kind of VR environment on Epic Client.

These VR games being EGS exclusive is hilarious. At this point I'm totally numb and no game will make me break.
It's easy really. Wait and don't let their shitty tactic win.
EGS really does love not doing any lifting of its own given its reliance on other VR APIs, aping WINE as an excuse for Linux support, and has been clearly touting GOG 2.0's library integration feature as a pseudo-trojan for its own client.
We've already had to wait anyway, so I'm just going to keep on waiting. Not letting the bastards win.

Tim has used all his tricks: Anno 1800, Outer Wilds, Observation, Satisfactory, Hades, Griftlands, Journey, Quantic Dream's games, Shenmue III, etc.
If you have managed to resist the temptation so far, then it is likely that you will never break.
Exactly. There are just too many good games available on PC alone to care about waiting. I wait on non-exclusives too! I'm looking forward to eventually playing Darksiders 3 for example.
Because It's not just Tetris.
Speaking of Darksiders 3, the Keepers of the Void DLC is out:
'Just Tetris' is pretty reductive, yeah it mostly plays like classic Tetris (although there are some new gameplay elements) but with Rez-like visuals and an amazing soundtrack and VR.
Think I may not finish Timespinner after all. It's a fun and reasonably polished game, and the audiovisual presentation is great, but while, lord knows, level design has never been the strong suit of the Igavanias, I don't think the stuff it does right quite makes up for the environments just not being that interesting to explore.
Are Bloodstained and Super Daryl Deluxe any better in this regard? I'll still give them a try at some point either way, though.

Bloodstained has a few interesting areas but also a bunch of really dull ones that are just corridors with enemies. If you want fun platforming I'd recommend Guacamelee, Elliot Quest or Ori if you haven't played those yet.
Super Daryl Deluxe has really simple level design for the most part. Despite being technically a platformer/RPG I think it has more in common with those South Park RPGs, in that it's mostly an adventure game / vehicle for jokes with some combat mechanics to fill it out. (Also when you play it, be sure to rotate saves. I had a required quest break about 9 hours in.)
Ooh, finally!
I didn't care about the Crucible, but I wants me that Abyssal Armour!
What's a humble bundle? The name seems to stir a memory but I can't quite recall.
I'm looking forward for next year when the first Epic 1 year exclusivity deals will gradually end. I wonder if there will be some sort of "that game that held HOSTAGE is finally free I need to buy it now to show support" drama effect, or if the games will be old news by then and buried under next year's new games.
The superior Tetris game that includes bonus Puyo Puyo AND anime.
Who are you to resist it, huh?

I'm betting there will be some interest in the first few, and then people will stop caring.
Actually a pretty nice bundle. Not sure when I last saw soundtracks included.
That looks like a good bundle. Bouight for Shantae and the 1$ tier
What is though?
I've been waiting for the PC version of Tetris Effect because I wanted to play it in VR. I guess I'll just keep on waiting. If they don't want my money then I'm not gonna cry about it.
I think it's going to largely depend on whether or not the game in question has left a Steam page up for gathering wishlists. The email Valve sends out to inform people that the game they've added to the wishlist has launched is proven to be extremely effective at generating sales, to the extent that the rule of thumb is about half of the people who wishlists your game pre-release will buy it in the first week. This means the folks who have left the Steam pages up gathering wishlists will probably benefit majorly in terms of initial Steam sales, which will then probably cement a higher position in the eyes of the almighty Algorithm in the long run.
With PC gaming, releases are not getting buried: many people (including myself) play PC games after a long delay.
What I wonder is how we will deal with GotY lists. For some people, games like Outer Wilds might end up on their lists for 2020.
Will we consider that Steam releases are re-releases of games on a new platform? If so, PC Gaming would be fragmented.
Nobody cares about GotY lists. It is just that I wonder how the fragmentation of PC gaming will be dealt with when that time comes.
The core question is what these "places" are.

Who cares? If those games choose to be released in a place nobody wants to buy them then there is nothing to be done.
Anime aside, this is a great game. Feels really good to play.
Finally finished
Definitely had mixed feelings about this game. It felt oddly long, for one, due to its structure. The difficulty level was pretty fair, except for when they started introducing more instant kills as the game went on. You can have all the health upgrades you want, but oops, you fell into a pit and you're dead. On the other hand, you can bumble your way through a difficult platforming section and make it out alive, so perhaps it balances out.
I also sort of felt like I was playing the game wrong the entire time. The game has "cloud stepping", which means you get a jump added every time you hit something. This would lead you to believe you're supposed to hit/jump/hit/jump, but I found that I never got high enough doing that. So what I did was press jump AND hit and the same time, which got me higher in the air, and then I got another jump after that. It seems really awkward pressing two buttons at the same time, and I also don't understand why I technically got 2 jumps per hit. Maybe I misunderstood, but regardless I wouldn't have beaten the game otherwise.

Wait...does your username come from 90s-one-hit-wonder-about-driving band, Geggy Tah?
I thought I was the only one in the world who knew of that band.
Oh boy, it's a long story, and not because I am a fan or anything.
AAAAAAA
Anyone saying B is probably 6 years old and can only afford a new game every 6 months.
Nice. Might sign up for the Pass for a nice long depressing gaming binge.
New DLC for Total War: Three Kingdoms, looks pretty interesting, a new historical setting and start date. I would hope that in addition to the eight playable princes, you can unlock Empress Jia Nanfeng as a 'tyrant' faction ala Big Daddy Dong Zhou. She's apparently one of the most villainous women in Chinese history, which probably translates to 'did all the evil shit others did but lost' so it'll be fun to, you know, do all the evil shit others did but not lose.
Yeah, Unexplored is quite spiffy. If anyone is looking for a nudge, Austin Walker's steam really sells it.
It's what initially got me on board. Funny, now that I think about it. He had another long-form stream for Star Traders: Frontiers* that totally sold me. The kicker is both went on to nab my personal GOTY '17 & '18 picks. That's...weird.
I'll have to ask him what my GOTY '19 is gonna be!
* they wrap up on the the crew character creator at 38:05 if you're impatient, lol.
