VRFocus- There’s still plenty to learn about HTC’s Vive virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD), despite the company yesterday confirming that it will be available to consumers in 2015. One of the most intriguing aspects of the device, which is made in partnership with Valve, is the two controllers that allow players to interact with virtual environments. Pictures of these controllers are yet to surface, it has seemingly confirmed that they will be shipping with the device itself.
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.

Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
