Even though the game is 15 years old and Looking Glass is no more, still as a PC gamer you are playing it with Link using the steam controller.
What's cool to us is, that even if Looking Glass is no more, [System Shock] has been kept alive by its community.
If you can keep  this entire game alive just by what people are contributing, it is a way of getting people outside the PC gaming space to sort of marvel at why our focus is on user generated content and the fact that the experience really comes out of the community not just out of the game development team. [...]
15 years ago they were tyring to think of what Virtual Reality would look like. The best and brightest people at Looking Glass and the progeny of this company that has spread throughout our industry. This was their take on what Virtual Reality would be like and know you guys get to see what our take is 15 years later on Virtual Reality.

I wonder if he's aware that SS1 actually includes native support for VR goggles.
