Will Oculus games be welcome on Windows Store ???

Oculus-Rift games need a fast PC with a strong graphics card. They won't run on a phone or tablet.
Contradictionally, the Windows 10 policy states that Windows Store games must be able to run universally on all Windows platforms.
Does this mean that Oculus Rift Games will not be welcome on the Windows Store ??

Anyone who has already experience with this ? I think this point is very essential for many developers.

    I don't know of many 3D games that are distributed through the actual Windows Store (Oculus or not).

    This is something Oculus need to look at quickly. I have no idea how apps can be copy protected or sold for the Rift.

    Don't see why not, the new Tomb Raider is now on the Windows Store and Quantum Break will also be on the Windows Store, both games wont run on a Phone/tablet.

    It doesn't say anywhere that all features must work on all platforms. The real question is whether the Oculus SDK can operate in their sandbox, but I believe Oculus has stated that Minecraft Win10 edition bought from the windows store would have support.
