I’d call that half like with an asterisk.

Why?

Because it's not as easy to get to where you can play it? People don't write off new games in a series that require a $1,000 PC upgrade, why is a VR headset you can get for much cheaper any different?

If it's not the barrier to entry, is it the format? Is Metroid Prime not still a Metroid game? Is Ocarina of Time not a Zelda game?

Yes

Well I disagree with you on every point, then:

  • Ocarina of Time is a Zelda game.

  • Metroid Prime is a Metroid game.

  • The Witcher 3 is a Witcher game.

Ergo, Half-Life : Alyx is a Half-Life game.
