>I really do think that they could probably create a title that can bring people in
Alyx already convinced a lot of people to finally get into VR. I said before it came out that the game could've completely sucked and it still would've done a lot of good for VR just from the pre-release hype.
>it'd probably have to have Counter Strike/TF2/Left 4 Dead levels of replay value
The problem is they've claimed they aren't working on or planning to do anything multiplayer for now. I think something like that would be great though, and I hope they change their minds.

Pavlov pub games were still decent even when the game was averaging 150-200 players online at a time, and I don't really think of that as a very large number of players compared to a lot of other games. I don't think you're overestimating the size of the playerbase you actually need to keep a game going. The problem is with games that don't even peak at 20 people online.
