The chairwoman of HTC Cher Wang has told BBC that she is working with Valve to bring the Half-Life franchise to their VR headset VIVE. It is not known if she was referring to the first two Half-Life games or the long rumored Half-Life 3.
"We are co-operating with Half-life, and I think... I hope, you know, it will be on it," said Wang.
"[Valve's online marketplace] Steam has a community of 125 million gamers," said Parker Consulting analyst Nick Parker. "All of them are very familiar with Half-life, a significant number have played it, and some are still playing it."
"People won't buy the headset without a good catalogue of games, and there's certainly an engagement loyalty with the Half-life brand."
