I don&#x27;t understand why this is not combined with a big announcement. A clear &quot;we fucked up, sorry&quot; 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.

After last week&#x27;s E3, this isn&#x27;t super surprising. Almost every story I read about Oculus wasn&#x27;t about their Touch controller demos but about how they were buying timed-exclusives while locking HTC Vives out of the store.<p>Still good to see it happen though.

Too late. Facebook, DRM and a superior competitor (Vive) have already killed this brand for so many people now.
