Play Oculus Rift games on your HTC Vive with LibreVR

If you've got a Vive but want to experience some of the Oculus's finest exclusives, or you know, all of their exclusives, the answer is here.

LibreVR is a compatibility layer that makes it possible to play Luckey's Tale and Oculus's Dreamdeck on your Vive headset. You'll need to be a little techy to get it to work, downloading it from Github and fiddling with it to get it working perfect, but reports from Reddit and Neogaf are positive.

Exclusivity only really hurts customers in my opinion (although it's just my opinion) so this is a step in the right direction, but it's a shame it seems Oculus is giving away a bunch of free games in this case.

Download it here, and if you want to get on board get to the Oculus store soon as the Oculus games are currently free on the Oculus store, regardless of whether or not you own a Rift. I wouldn't expect this to last for long now this exploit is in the wild.
