Apparently the components they need are ”no longer being manufactured,” and so the supply chain is broken. We’ve all been there with our daisy-chain management empires.
Stock is depleting and so they’ll be suspending sales in regions that they could no longer meet until those missing daisies are back in the chain of mighty capitalism.
”Certain components used in the Oculus Rift developer kit are no longer being manufactured, meaning they are no longer available to us for production,” read an explanation of the Oculus Reddit. ”As a result, we don’t have the necessary materials to produce additional kits.”
”We still have some stock available, but we’re quickly running out.” Currently, Oculus Rift is being sold and shipped to the United States, Canada, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Switzerland and Norway.
The Oculus Rift Development Kit is sold for $300 and includes the Oculus SDK.
