Oculus, the company behind the Rift, won’t be allowing such scandalous adult content on the game store, but because it’s going to be an accessible open-ended platform, people will be making content of their own.
Not the intended purpose, but a ‘perk’ to many
When the Oculus Rift started coming onto the scene, the sole purpose was to use it with video games. But as with many things, people get their hands on the devices and develop software for them. Since the Oculus Rift will not have tight control over the content available for the device, people are bound to create more uses for the virtual reality system.
Nate Mitchell from Oculus stated recently that the company will ban all pornography games or software from their official Oculus game store, but they can’t keep it from being created.
Oculus won’t be able to fully control what type of content is developed since their hardware SDK is open, but they can say that from a business standpoint, they will not be promoting the use of the Oculus Rift with pornography.
