In a topic about virtual reality on Reddit, Valve's Alan Yates revealed a third of the company is currently involved in virtual reality related projects! The game publisher has an estimated 300 employees, so this means about 100 people are actively working on VR, whether that be on the hardware side or the software side.
While discussing VR on Reddit, Valve’s Alan Yates mentioned just how big VR is at Valve right now: “I was super fortunate to start at Valve right around the time Michael Abrash had begun the AR/VR research team. It was a much smaller team then than it is now, it has since grown to encompass about a third of the company, but the key individuals that solved most of the really hard technological problems and facilitated this generation of consumer headsets are still here working on the next generation.”
