ARAIG and Oculus?

Okay so I was perusing the Rock Paper Shotgun website and came across this article about a product being kickstarted called the ARAIG (as real as it gets) its a suit that simulates the action that you see on screen, you will feel the vibrations and you will feel the bullets. I can't really do it justice so here is the kickstarter, the price point for the suit is 325$ (limited quantity). Now imagine playing a game with this and the rift. All of the possibilities!

I like the ideas behind the Delta Six and ARAIG, but I do not like the strategy of marketing to people who expect these things to work out of the box with existing titles while at the same time showing absolutely no strategy for getting proper support from developers to create new content. That just makes it feel like dozens of other failed peripherals starting with the Power Glove.

It would be as if there was no Oculus Rift SDK and OVR were only creating something like the Vireio or VorpX drivers to support existing games without making a serious effort to make content specifically for VR. I'd never back that.
