News::Oculus stops preventing VR games from working with HTC's Vive

The company quietly issued an update for its desktop software today which strips away the headset exclusivity check that has caused VR fans so much consternation, Ars Technica reports.

But in response to today's news, the Revive devs have dumped their DRM cracking technology.
