It seems like NaturalPoint have a few exclusivity agreements with publishers. For example, it's currently against the rules to discuss alternative head-tracking systems on the Ubisoft forums.
Also, they quite often deliberately change their API to break Freetrack in new games. I can understand it to a degree because it's their API and their efforts that convinced developers to support head-tracking devices. It's still rather anti-competitive, though.
Good to hear that ArmaII supports FreeTrack.
