They could even let everyone have it for free, creating public goodwill and a huge incentive for people to install their store front and buy games even if they didn't own their head set. That's how you build a platform.
That's true too.

Actually, there are more vive-compatible games alone on steam than there are total games on oculus home.
Y'all better prepare yourselves because u/heany555 is going to have to spin this one so hard that it may effect gravity.
Has he responded yet btw?
And this is with Rift hardware being soft locked to the Oculus Store, so they're closed off in both directions.
edit: next step will probably be Facebok starting to sue other VR headset manufacturers for patent infringement..
That's not true, you can buy rift software on steam and other places.
Glad I went with a VIVE. Not sure how anyone could go with a Rift to be honest.
Well personally I find it to be the best headset
By every objective measure the vive and rift are essentially the same headset.
Guess it's up to valve to save PC gaming again.
...you're going to get more than 1 answer to this.yeah but then you use both of them and it's pretty clear which headset is more comfortable and looks better.

Shit, son.
They objectively look the same, running at the same resolution with effectively the same display. The subjective bit is whether you prefer crepuscular rays or not. Let's not pretend everyone prefers the rift's optics.
Honestly I can see why they would do this, Vive is by far the best choice for PC VR, people won't buy a Rift over Vive unless there is an incentive which is making all their games exclusive. And the best way to attach consumers to their store is by selling rifts with Oculus default software.
Some people have small rooms which make a headset focused on seated experience like the Oculus more appealing than something like the Vive which focuses on setting up a whole playspace to get the most out of the kit.
Poor form Oculus.
They really need to demote Palmer and get a CEO with some balls and passion for the gaming industry.
Palmer shouldn't let this bullshit happen. He is one of the more anti consumer CEOs out there.
