If this goes through, EVE Valkyrie and the Oculus are dead to me.

Your thoughts?



I really looked forward to this game.

Now?

No way in *HELL*.

Sorry, CCP.


oh please. it's the same damn device

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.

One word: Incarna

3 words: Walking in Stations



okay so the RIFT is out due to recent events. How hard would it be to develop Valkyrie for ANOTHER VR platform?

Imgur has a good take on what this will mean to the average user....

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.

Yeah seems like just what a product that is essentially two screens an inch from your eyeballs really needs, an owner who have perfected the art of targeted advertising.
