Re:Oculus reverses course, dumps its VR headset-checking DRM by onli on Friday June 24, 2016 @01:09PM (#11971556)
I don't understand why this is not combined with a big announcement. A clear "we fucked up, sorry" would go a long way in making the Oculus popular again. This silent reversal looks more like one party inside the company opposing the DRM won for now, but does not have the power to make Oculus promise to play straight. This way it is all too likely that they will later add DRM again.

The release is dated for tomorrow, it looks like it got released early. Perhaps they were planning on putting out a big announcement tomorrow.

If so, I hope it was John Carmack.
