I think this is going to kill all they worked for specially since you have companies like valve that already have a portal and plans to release their on HMD. Hell even google cardboard has a landing portal to house apps.Call me lazy but I like to move on to the next game or movie without having to take the unit off. Also from my experience as an IT guy normal non tech people usually get turned off if you have to do more than 3 steps/clicks to access a program that's why game consoles are so popular. Valve understands this barrier that's why they have been working hard to get the steam machine portal polished up. Oculus has done an amazing job so far spearheading the VR movement but if they plan to get a wider adaptation they need to start consolidating and start getting ready for the battle. Remember Steam has 100mil+ active users that will be hungry for the vr experience once it becomes mainstream so technically Oculus is already losing in the marketing/branding game.
