if we could get even just a small morsel of something I'd walk away satisfied... too many players entering the market and we've heard crickets from Oculus...

I've gotta say, 2018 was empty for Oculus on PC. Home 2 evolved a lot but everything is experimental and destroyed performance until the latest update (at least on my side).

The Keynotes will be streamed live in VR on Oculus GO using Venues

So dumb question on my part I am sure.
They show Oculus Connect 5 being able to be viewed streaming live on Facebook and in VR.
What preparation and what do I need to do in order to watch it streaming live on my Rift?

That's another reason why I'm using the good ol' classic home - it works perfectly, even when forcing super sampling 2.0 I get 90+ fps 😉 And I don't care for bells and whistles (I don't use my VR rig for other things than gaming and VR apps - I have an office PC to handle everything else).
I've been thinking something similar about the current year (so far), but I think I'm wrong.
This year we got the most amazing games on the Rift - like Beat Saber, Moss and Windlands 2. Racket: Nx reached v. 1.0 in July, and "In Death" and "Brass Tactics" both arrived in February 2018. One of the favorite Rift games, namely "Kin", arrived in January 2018.
Other high ranking games have been Hellblade VR, Pixel Ripped and Catan VR - and apps like Electronauts.
Furthermore in early 2018 Doom VFR got patched and is perfectly playable on the Rift - it's one of my favorite VR games ever - and you got FallOut 4 VR perfectly patched to the Rift and you got Skyrim. And we got Gorn 😄 Personally I think Seeking Dawn is one of the best ever VR games, although it's extremely hardware demanding and unpolished. Especially in Seeking Dawn, entering the cave(s) with the giant alien spider-like creatures/monsters was an amazing experience.
I'm starting to think that 2018 - even though Lone Echo is still king - has been an absolutely awesome year for VR, maybe even the best ever, and there're still 3 months left 🙂
My hopes for 2019 would be to continue the trend of publishing awesome VR games - like this year - and to get the CV2. If a new VR headset can't be directly connected to a RTX video card, I don't think such a headset will be of interest to me. New interesting headsets need to run Seeking Dawn or better 😉

To be fair, using normal apps on a virtual screen like Oculus Desktop or Virtual Desktop has a ton of advantages (compared to a normal PC build). Personally, I can't watch movies anymore if I don't lie completely down on my bed with a huge cinema screen above my head xD! I also enjoy normal games a lot better on a giant screen (it's more immersive than on a regular screen). And let's not forget the two hand-controlled cursors instead of the single mouse cursor (much faster and more ergonomic).
The only thing VR desktop apps need right now is a proper virtual keyboard. I wish they would take the one from Rec Room, that one is perfect.
