I just read that one gaming company already ditched oculus because of facebook, citing no faith in anything associated with facebook. I have to agree with him after reading the article. But I have never been a facebook fan so am a bit biased. |

Well there goes that product. I downgraded the purchase from day one to maybe if FB won't mess it up... and even then maybe. And just when the future for simulation and space games looked good too This post was rated "C" for capsuleer. |

Man...I was seriously concidering buying both oculus and valkyrie aswell :( BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty. |

Is it just me, or does this seem like a really bizarre paring?
Who would want to use a VR system that forces you to connect ot the real world? Isn't VR all about being immersed in a different world?
Even ignoring the whole privacy issue, it seems like a bad combination. Just my view though. |

also, i do feel the same regarding FB, as does a vast majority of IT / tech ppl.
unfortunately, most of the Oculus VR and CCP's crowd is composed of such ppl, meaning it is a big problem for Valkyrie imao....
as i said earlier, i was considering buying a VR and valkyrie, now there is just no way.
also several of my friends had preordered DK2, they all cancelled (+-10 ppl), and i've heard lot of ppl are doing the same.
i'd be curious to see the preorder stats for the last 2 days, Oculus team might be shitting bricks right now
edit: i'll murder that forum if it ate my post once more |

Because of Spam/Data mining/3rd party sharing/NSA uplink/etc etc... No way in hell am I going to buy a rift now! New player experience, more highsec PvE missions, casual play, balance, counters to AFK cloaking, expanding the NEX store, and Power Projection.

sign in to facebook for, share with your friends, post here to move on - oh god no... Even if it's not like that, I simply don't trust Facebook enough to trust they won't try to track everything to sell on. The great thing about the rift was that it was independently funded and wasn't just the agenda of a larger company. If I'm going to be trusting a larger company to push a product on me and the choices are FB and Sony, FB loses hands down. yeah, as far as supervillains in a sotry go, FB is the evil mastermind who backstabbed everyone, constantly makes alliances for the sole purpose of murdering everyone involved, and generally is poinon.
Sony is like that villain that TRIES to be a threat, but is so incompetent he keeps tripping on the cape everyone told him to stop wearing years ago. |

In other news, EVE Valkyrie is now dead in the water given the majority of EVE's playerbase probably doesn't want to use facebook, as we've seen with EVE gate. Valve isn't much better than any other company. They have an F rating on the better business bureau, mostly because of their horrible (non-existent) customer service. And have you ever read their EULA? It is despicable. Granted they are a little better than facebook, but that isn't saying much. PS: I was excited for valkyre, now I'm not. Hope CCP pulls their support from it and develops for another VR platform. in the world of business there are no good guys.
Valve is just that one bad guy willing to reasonably deal with people instead of going around stabbing babies in cribs because one of them MIGHT be a threat one day. |

Also CCP...
Kudos to the ones who saw it coming so early that the Oculus is going to be a smash hit.
Then again... you had that those guys at your party in Cologne and you had them drunk... but instead of coming back with the rift, you leave it for some nouveau-riche social media douchebag and lose Soundwave at the Wargaming booth. :-/ (who did win that drinking contest again? ) |

"According to a person involved in the deal who was not allowed to speak publicly because he was not authorized by either company, Facebook eventually plans to redesign the Oculus hardware and rebrand it with a Facebook interface and logo."

2 year old start up funded at $91 million is purchased for $2 billion. It's a venture capitalist,.... dream. Congratulations Oculus Rift.
Say,... how about that Disney buying Maker Studios for $500 million.

Ahh yes, you mean the BBB that was caught selling higher ratings.
Look at other companies ratings, the BBB is a joke.
Just like CCP's response to this is
Quote:We're very excited for our friends and colleagues at Oculus," David Reid, CCP Games' CMO told us. "We share their vision about the future of VR and gaming and are looking forward to participating in the consumer launch of the Oculus Rift with EVE: Valkyrie." |

Well I hope CCP start negotiations with another supplier. FB wants this for the IP only. They're not interesting in the gaming market, more in gaming the market with advertising revenue.
I suspect, they're really after a Google Glass look-alike to service more inane farmville or "likes". |

I've never been interested in minecraft, but i feel that they I should give it a go now as they are clearly lead by a man who values his integrity. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

I think that if CCP hadn't invested so much time and money into this and were not themselves run by venture capitalists then things might be different. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

Of course CCP's still going to support it. They've sold their souls so many times, I'm surprised there's anything left to sell. Maxim 34: If you're leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun. |

I suppose my biggest disappointment is that Oculus had the chance to build something really, really cool, and with Valkyrie being part of that.
They had the chance to be pioneers in their field, instead they've sold out.
But Hell it could be worse, they could of sold it to EA |
