But Oculus wants independent games on the Rift too. Today it announced it will revamp its Oculus Share app store, and invest $10 million to help indie developers accelerate production. That means consumers will have a wide variety of experiences to choose from, including cheaper, more artsy little titles along with expensive blockbuster games from the world’s top studios.
