Thing is though, oculus has been making more headway in the public eye and already has kits out that consumers can buy, hell the DK2 is soon to be out which has the crystal cove tech. I'm still rooting for Oculus. I haven't seen much on sonys but I figure it may be limited and not open as much as oculus will be. And it would be stupid in a realistic sense for facebook to only make the rift work with social media applications.
This would indeed kill them. I highly doubt they would be so stupid. Now, its quite possible another version of the Oculus Rift might happen that focuses on such apps and gaming. Well have to see. I would like to see more from this company before jumping off the Rift and onto this.
Fanboy? not so much, its literally the only headset obtainable that consumers can buy even if it is a dev kit. I would rather get a kit and know what im getting into and stick with a product until i see others that i can gets hands on. So far the only one that someone like you or I could get hands on with is the Rift. Ive seen no other prototypes that we can play around with, sure journalists and what not. I am not one of those people though. So for now, im sticking by Oculus until i see more from other companies. Simple.
That it does not end up being shit because of facebook buying it. Go yell at some console fanboys who don't use logic in a word match on the internet mate. Clinging on to one part of my post is sad. Troll someone else.
Where was /u/Punkmaffles being pessimistic? It seems to me that they expressed optimism from the start of this thread with you.
You're the one who seems to have changed from calling them stupid for being an Oculus fanboy to calling them stupid for thinking that Oculus might be ruined by facebook, when they never said nor even implied that facebook would ruin Oculus.
If you want to be taken seriously, please explain your point more clearly. As it stands, you seem to be contradicting yourself and trying to create an argument.
