Oculus should just be nice and break up so they can fight amongst each other to make the game more fun for everyone else.
Obviously the Continuum fell apart but only after years of dissatisfaction and slowly losing external support. With fewer alliances (both within the "ruling coalition" and the "opposition"), it becomes harder to swing alliances from one side to the other. There are simply less groups willing to switch. Although no coalition is forever, I don't think one has ever fallen because someone else asked them to.
