I think this marks a significant point where HTC is beginning to step out from behind Valve's APIs to assert their own dominance of the software stack.

I'll bet Valve is really wishing someone else would step up and build another HMD for their platform, right now. Maybe they'll suddenly embrace OSVR...

...and they've also got to be worried about standalone. I'll bet they're trying to partner with someone like Samsung or LG on that.
