>They clearly want to push their more casual all-in-one headsets and don't care much about the enthusiasts and gamers that helped get Oculus off the ground in the first place.

I'm a little surprised they have taken this route. Especially with someone like John Carmack for a CTO.

Carmack’s interest at Oculus seems to have always been low-end VR. He wrote the SDK for the Gear VR.

I think he is like a demoscene coder; he enjoys pushing limited hardware beyond its supposed limits.

That’s what I assumed too. There’s just not that much left to be done with tight C++ loops in “triple-A” production value VR, it’s mostly about giant asset pipelines.
