In my opinion, Oculus’ concern is exaggerated.

But that shouldn’t give them license to throw their weight around.
#VR DESKTOP STREAMER SOFTWARE#
Facebook and Oculus have probably been the most important benefactors of the VR industry, thanks to their subsidies of software which made it possible for developers to create games such as Superhot VR. Like everyone, I disapprove of what Oculus did even though I’m a fan of Oculus. I’m just explaining their likely motivation for it. This explanation is not an effort to justify Oculus’ move. And unlike ALVR or Vridge, Virtual Desktop doesn’t require sideloading, so it is easier to do on Virtual Desktop. But with an app such as Virtual Desktop, you’ll be able to use your Quest to play the Fruit Ninja game you bought from Steam. Normally, purchasing Fruit Ninja on Steam store won’t let you play it on Quest. Oculus may see streaming apps such as Virtual Desktop as a threat to their strategy. This gives an incentive to purchase Fruit Ninja from the Oculus store instead.

However, Fruit Ninja is one of several games to support cross-buy on Oculus, so if you buy Fruit Ninja on Oculus Store for the Rift, you’ll also be able to download it for Quest. For example, a game like Fruit Ninja is available for all systems, so it’s possible to buy it on either the Oculus store or Steam store, and you’ll be able to play it on either an Oculus or SteamVR headset. I speculate that Oculus’ move is because of their long term strategy: they want Oculus Quest users to stick to the Oculus ecosystem. Why did Oculus force Virtual Desktop to remove SteamVR streaming? Guy Godin’s post received thousands of upvotes (3.8K at the moment) from outraged VR users. I worked on this for months and was eager to improve the functionality as I received your feedback over the last few days but according to Oculus, I am hurting Quest.”
I thought it would be a perfect fit for my app since it already gives you access to your computer.

I saw the ability to stream VR content from your PC as a very cool idea. I’ve been developing in VR for 5+ years and as some of you may know, I like to experiment and push the envelop with the tech. “Hi guys, I’m sorry to announce this but Oculus doesn’t want the SteamVR streaming feature in their store. Here’s what Guy Godin said about the incident on Reddit: Unfortunately, Oculus put a stop to that. It’s also the easiest of the three to use for streaming, and in my opinion, the one with the best image quality. However, Virtual Desktop is arguably a more well-known application, and thus far the only one among the three apps to be found in the Oculus Quest store (Vridge and ALVR have to be sideloaded). There are others such as Vridge and ALVR. Virtual Desktop is not the only app that gives the Quest that capability. However, Virtual Desktop could also be used to enable the Quest to play SteamVR games on a VR-ready desktop PC. Virtual Desktop is a VR app that enables you to view your PC desktop as a virtual screen in VR. Why did Oculus force Virtual Desktop to remove SteamVR streaming? Will they change their mind? The controversial move was roundly criticized by the VR community, which came out in support of Mr.
According to Virtual Desktop developer Guy Godin, Oculus has demanded that he remove Virtual Desktop’s SteamVR streaming feature, which otherwise enables the Oculus Quest (reviewed here) to be used to play games on SteamVR.
