VRFocus- Half-Life developer and Steam owner Valve has a close relationship with virtual reality (VR) technology so far. Not only do several ex-employees now hold high level positions at Oculus VR, but the company even has its own head-mounted display (HMD) for internal testing, as pictured below. While the studio might not be planning to release its own kit for consumers to try out, Valve is more than happy to share its findings with anyone that will listening. To that end, one of the company’s Graphics Programmers will be holding a session on VR rendering at the 2015 Game Developers Conference (GDC).
As per the latest discoveries by a popular SteamVR dataminer, Valve is rumored to be working on adding an Android emulator in Steam.
Interesting, I currently using Bluestacks on my PC, it works okay, but not all games are compatible, and some work but with glitches, so it would be nice to have an alternative option.
In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.
Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway
This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.
So where is the outcry?

Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.
I never understood why Valve never released their own VR. They sure helped out Oculus in the beginning.
PLUS hearing that Valve may reveal a new OpenGL makes me very excited as well. GDC cant get here soon enough.
Honestly surprised Valve wasn't the first to jump onboard the VR bandwagon. They're one of the only people in the industry I would've trusted with the technology or expect to be interested in it for a Half-Life 3 alone.
Half Life 3 confirmed
VR scene is getting hotter
