STOP BSING VALVE

[RTX 5080 FE(Mr Happy)]

You keep spamming that VR set as the best seller out of everything on steam, but it has no reviews at all on steam. Grounded is only very positive and like the 5 or 6th best seller and has over 6,000 reviews.

How is you're VR brand out selling every pc game steam has to offer, yet nobody had time to leave a review? Just calling BS on that.

A kit that is valued that much and sells out every time it is in stock is why it is always on that list.

There is no bs.

Ok so why has nobody left a single review? That is what has be confused. SOMEBODY would have given a review by now.

The reason there aren't any reviews is because Steam doesn't allow you to write reviews for any of the Index hardware for some reason, whether you own it or not. I own it myself and can confirm that.

As for why the whole set appears in the top sellers every now and then, if I had to guess it's probably because the whole system is still pretty heavily back-ordered, and so these leaps are probably when they get a new wave of shipments ready and accept peoples' payments (you can't "preorder" the index, you just place your order to reserve your spot in line and pay when your shipment wave comes up).

Thank you for the reply and explanation, I always thought it was just a marketing ploy to try and sell more products. How do you like it and would it be worth investing if you already have 4 eyes? lol(glasses)

I love mine, having upgraded from the original Vive. It is $1,000, though, so it really just depends on how much VR in general interests you; I'd say it's definitely the highest-end VR system you can buy at the moment, but if you're just getting into VR to see if you like it or not you don't really need a $1000 kit (especially since the controllers are by far the main draw of the system in my eyes, and you can buy those on their own and use them with a much cheaper pre-owned Vive or something).

Also just for the record, I wear glasses too and can wear them just fine in the headset, though mine are pretty small frames. I like to use prescription lens inserts I ordered online anyways, since it lets you put the lenses closer to your eyes and protects them from scratches.

It's pretty simple. The bestseller list is based on price. You need to sell 30+ copies of Grounded to match just one VR Kit sale.

Also remember it's their hardware and website so if they want to get their product to be advertised more they can list it wherever they want.

Correct. Best sellers are ordered by total revenue not copies sold.

should be by units and percentages... not dollars....

Whats more honest about that?

Its just a different metric for measurement.

Its the same with "Steam is still learning about/profile features limited games" - they have to reach a monetary threshold not a units sold threshold. Because 1,000,000 sales at £0.79 isn't that impressive

Nothing other than moving the goalposts about what is shown first on the list. Both are equally honest unless the list is tampered.

Thank you again for the helpful info. My apologies if my thread post was a bit antaganistic (pretty sure I butchered that spelling). I was honestly confused and this thread provided alot of useful info.
