Repeated intro

Hello there, We are discounting giving out the Oculus Key for Steam purchasers soon. We will only accept the request by the end of May. The reason for the decision is to keep the value fair with different stores. We want various virtual reality stores to grow and make a healthy ecosystem. However, we were giving too much advantage on Steam purchasers by giving out the Oculus keys for free. We want more users to buy and play the game on the Oculus Store, too. As this is an unpleasant news for some, we'll have some time before stopping this support as mentioned above. Also, please note that Oculus DK2 does not work in SteamVR. If you wish to play the game with DK2, you should buy it from the Oculus Store. Thanks! -Jake, HandMade Game
