From what I ' ve found out so far , the Rift is trying to make games DRM ' d to the headset . So instead of treating the VR headsets as if they were controllers ala the Vive , Oculus is treating them as if they were consoles . The games you buy for the Vive is playable on the Oculus I think , or is it up to the devs ? but not vice versa . <| sep |> These days your asking facebook , twitter , tumblr , instagram and so on . Since people freeboot it all . <| sep |> No , sadly . Used to work there . The barcodes don ' t activate until the release date . Been this way since I was there and that was 67 years ago now . <| sep |> I know right , very slave like ! <| sep |> It ' s still going up and isn ' t stopping for a while . <| sep |> Thanks ! As payback , can I introduce you torOldManDog ?
