If this goes through, EVE Valkyrie and the Oculus are dead to me.
Your thoughts?
Besides that I also hold the opinion that CCP should make a PC version for Dust 514. |

This is very unfortunate. I can live without EVE Valkyrie. However, I wonder more whether this will taint and delay a technology many of us have been waiting for.

So, beyond the facebook fear mongering, 2 billion dollars just went towards a device that we like (pending). That money will be used to hire great project managers, better engineers, designers, programmers, sales ppl.
We all hate comcast but we still use their service... erryday. Just because the company bought them doesnt mean they are going to buttfuck the device with like buttons.
This MAY have just made it better.
.... but I am still not convinced.... hopeful but not happy. I do not want every loss mail posted to my facebook.... it would just block out everything. |

i'm just going to post this, because one of the comments make me go huh? You do realize that all the games on facebook are not owned or operated by facebook right? Zynga runs them. They just utilize Facebooks platform. So the game invites, and like spam is not because of facebook, its because of zynga utilizing tools in the facebook platform to do that. This is like complaing that Microsoft is spaming you ads when your looking at a **** site. No, the **** site is utilizing the platform of your web browser that runs on windows to do that. So yes you could have Farmville 3d because zynga thinks they can make money off it.
Anyway, the rest of your complaints are valid, but its still too early to tell. |

All I can read in this thread is people overreacting.
Occulus Rift is still Occulus Rift, all that changes is where the money flows to and from.
Yeah, yeah it might change its direction a bit in the long run, but only the stupidest company would avoid selling it as the product that made it popular in the first place.
Besides, there are a few ups such as better financial backing. That could mean more frequent iterations, availability in more countries, more advertising making more developers interested in developing for it, etc.
So yeah big businesses do kind of put their own stamp on things like a few other things I can think of like:
-Microsoft bought skype, they integrated their Microsoft account system into it.
-Google has Youtube, they integrated their google plus account system into it.
Occulus rift if a physical product that doesn't sport a web UI in the damn thing... worst that can happen in my opinion is that you can log on the occulus rift website with your FB account?
Besides so many websites that aren't even affiliated with Facebook have tons of Facebook related features in them, even games! But that's not Facebook's decision but rather the game/website/product that decided it wanted to because it can generate cheap advertisement.
Take a chill pill guys.

Hence why I don't use FB, Twitter, Skype (especially since the MS takeover), online banking, etc...
Some of us stick to what we mean when we say we don't want any part of this crap.
The younger crowd eats it up though and they are going to pay for it.

Waste of money, this will tank harder then virtual boy. Companies seriously need to get the memo that cheap tactics to trick our senses aren't good enough anymore. (Wii, 3d and xbox one looking at you)
The next true innovation needs to come as a neurological link to the brain to give us true virtual reality, matrix style. Until then I'm always going to feel like dope dancing around in my living room. |

A device is just as much defined by the software driving it as the hardware comprising it. People clearly don't trust FB to not have a decidedly negative influence on that. |

That is brilliant!
But in essence, this really symbolizes the disdain and fear of being watched/controlled.
Despite seeing all the ways the Occulus COULD be used by facebook, in the end its like your monitor... There's a bunch of **** on the internet, but it's not because I have a samsung monitor... Its because I am subscribing to content made by greedy idiots on the internet. If I use my occulus to play Eve Valkyrie, I get what CCP wants to show me using it.
It's my fault if I subscribe to the new and improved virtual facebook in the future... Certainly Occulus rift would have helped facebook create this monstrosity, but the device itself shows little prospect of having a mind of its own in that respect... Lol at modern consoles that do force you to subscribe to their system to use it... That means Sony as well, if you think their VR system is better because it isn't facebook, you are looking at it the wrong way.
Also, those same people that made my monitor made my washing machine and phone... Oh and Disney bought Lucas... So what the hell.
