Here are some basic content standards that we apply to all apps and games. The following is not accepted in the Oculus Store:

Yeah, Robo Recall has dismemberment ... plus I am sure, they mean "excessive" dismemberment ..

Excessively violent games can still be played on the Rift, you just can't buy them direct from the Oculus Store. But developers can sell them on their websites and we can play by allowing 'external sources' (or whatever that option is).Also, I'm willing to bet that the "dismemberment" clause is limited to animals and people. I'm pretty sure we'll still be able to dismember zombies, demons, and monsters.

Go to settings. Set the setting to allow 3rd party content. Download and run your VR app that includes any or all of those prohibited items with ease. <eye roll>
In other news, you can not buy pork chops at your local synogogue or mosque, but you can go next door to Boss Hogg's BBQ Stall and get all the pork chops that you want.

I just bought the Arizona Sunshine DLC last night, and this would definitely fall foul of these rules, as you blow zombie limbs and heads clean off in this game franchise!
It would be a sad loss if games like this are no longer produced for Rift.

I'm tired of shooting robots, zombies and monsters in VR.

The problem with that, with me speaking about my game personally, is that this would limit us devs from not having our games available from the Oculus Store and only on Steam and our websites. I've decided not to have my game available on Steam because it's going to get lost in the sea of shite games that are released on there every day. So that would leave me with my games being sold on my website only.
I was also planning on having my game on the Oculus Store exclusively because I need funding to get it finished. So that's up the spout too. Most of the software I'm using is either trial software or Student software, not for use for commercial purposes and for some of it not even usable for release AT ALL. I'm going to be left releasing a game that I can't sell or even give away for nothing unless I can find a few grand from somewhere to buy the full versions of software that I need.
My plan was to have the game's sales going to cancer research but now I'm going to have to censor this game up the wazoo and make it a less attractive game for horror fans.
