Oculus have been buying Devs and releasing exclusives from day one. Oculus are very proud of their exclusives like Lone Echo and Robo Recall they spend millions for them.
So now Steam has some great AAA titles coming from Bethesda and now Rockstar not to mention what Valve has up its sleeve.
Good times.

It's not an abandonment, it's simply HTC's attempt to have their users feel as special as Oculus makes Rift owners feel; to be perfectly honest. We have many exclusives: Chronos, The Climb, Dead & Buried, Robo Recall, The Unspoken, Lucky's Tale. And at least we have original exclusives that have a AAA feel. Vivarians are stuck with a Remastered Port as their first attempt with glory 😄
Vive users are forced to use a 3rd party app to play Oculus Exclusives (e.g. Revive). Thus, we can reasonably expect Rift owners to have to use similar 3rd party app's to play exclusives from other platforms.
No harm done. And in the end, it's good for competition. The market with respond with a game that can compete directly with L.A. Noire.

Alas, there is no problem, as others have previously stated, we can play anything/everything on steamvr with the rift. The only thing I'm aware of that even purposefully blocked the rift was Google Earth VR, BEFORE we had the touch controllers, as that was the only decent way coded to navigate. (it felt VERY wonky using keyboard for it)

it's not because I repeat Vive owners can play Oculus exclusives with revive. so it's a problem that exist only here, for facebook/oculus customers. this problem doesn't even exist for vive customers.

And Bethesda a while back gave HTC grief for saying that Doom VFR and Fallout 4 were 'Vive exclusive' too. It's in a developer's or publisher's best interests to publish a game for as many platforms as possible, especially when publishing for VR. Unless they've had a moneyhat then Rockstar will bring LA Noire to both stores, or failing that will have two separate control schemes for the Rift and the Vive.
It's all about making money at the end of the day.
