Don't you love it how reporters tend to get their stuff entirely wrong?

"On Friday Oculus broke its word and instituted DRM (digital rights
management) controls on its virtual reality headset, blocking
non-approved games from its kit."

Erm... no, that's not what they did. What they did was blocking
non-approved kits from their games. Which is quite an important difference.

If they blocked independent games from running on the Oculus Rift, their
kit would probably have to be pronounced DOA.
