People don't buy HOTAS for Elite Dangerous, they buy it for Flight Sims (which there are hundreds available), same applies to Steering Wheels.

You guys are missing the point I was trying to make. You didnt buy the HOTAS for "Elite Dangerous", you bought it for a "Flight Sim named Elite: Dangerous".

Oculus bought Carbon Design, who helped make the Xbox 360 controller and the Kinect. Although the company that made the actual 3d scanning part of the Kinect, PrimeSense, was bought by Apple.

I expect that Oculus will eventually have a camera-based body tracking system. (Didn't they acquire the team that developed Kinect?)

That topic again... okay. I won't talk about "SHOP exclusivity" that much again, because we've talked enough about that topic (and even beyond).

That would be insane, right? It would also be insane if you have to buy a HOTAS to play a game, because that would decrease the amount of people who would buy the game and therefore result in bad sales.
We have to overcome that phase. And we will. But for now it is R&D phase.
Hahaha, you need to copy and paste the above and send it to Oculus because they deliberately and as you put it 'insanely' block every other HMD that's not a Rift playing their games. It decreases the amount of people who buy their games and therefore result in bad sales.
But back on topic.

There is no sinking in with this type of individual. There is just spam. Lots and lots of bitter spam :#

The amount of times I see this... "Oculus are blocking other HMD's from playing exclusive VR games".
Secondly, Oculus REMOVED the DRM that was locking out Revive. Let's just let that sink in for a moment

Oculus tale between legs reverses (to LibreVR's suprise) its DRM stance on the sly without announcing this backtrack to anyone.
...
I shit you not. Google for clarification.
Update: After we ran this story, we received the following quote from an Oculus representative:
So.. the backtrack WAS announced, albeit like a day later but they did in fact admit fault and showed a progressive stance to furthering the VR community and listening to consumers. You can't possibly deny that.“We continually revise our entitlement and anti-piracy systems, and in the June update we’ve removed the check for Rift hardware from the entitlement check. We won’t use hardware checks as part of DRM on PC in the future.
We believe protecting developer content is critical to the long-term success of the VR industry, and we’ll continue taking steps in the future to ensure that VR developers can keep investing in ground-breaking new VR content.”
