Are you seriously shocked by this development? By facebook of all companies? I seirously doubt the other companies won't try to pull the same bullshit, especially since no one else aside from here will care but then again in a few years this fad will die
>>332704968
sauce
>>332704968
hey HTC
>>332704968
Playstation VR seems like a better option at this point for anyone interested in VR.
Any hopes for the Rift were killed about a year or two ago so no big surprise.
>expecting facebook to do anything else
It's like you crawled out of a rock for 10 years, seriously get with the times holy fuck
>>332705269
>Playstation VR
Shooting yourself in the fucking foot is a better alternative than PSVR.
>>332705269
HTC Vive is leagues above PSVR
>>332704968
I literally have nothing to hide.
>>332705269
My dick violently pounding in your anus is better alternative to the Sony VR
>>332705435
This. Why would I fucking care.
Now where's my OR, I want mine to be shipped already.
>THERE WERE RETARDS THAT ACTUALLY KICKSTARTED THIS SHIT.
The Kickstarters didn't know at the time that the kike devs would later sell out to FB in the first place. I pity them, they thought they were getting a Rift for $300 for their support.
>>332704968
So it collects the same data as every other device. Big deal.
>>332705269
>Playstation VR seems like a better option at this point for anyone interested in VR.
Yeah and its the only one that hasgames
>>332705665
They're getting CV1 for free for supporting, where have you been.
>>332705269
You baited 4 people. Good job anon.
>>332705765
>Its okay when palmer pounds my ass
Ocucks are the worst
This is a huge step in VR.
Please do what I did and take off the technophile hat for one day and just enjoy the content in VR. For me, I purposefully put my tech opinions aside and just let the content in, and it was absolutely glorious. I simply can't wait for what the next 5 years have to offer for VR...that is...
<rant>
..if you fucking crybabies don't ruin the entire VR business before it has a chance to take off. This is the only real problem. Your incessant complaining is like the guy in the movie theater bitching at full volume about some minor detail that quite literally nobody else in the theater (currently enjoying the movie) gives a flying fuck about. Stop giving snarky quote snippets to gaming press that are too lazy to come up with their own opinions as those opinion pieces shape the buying decisions for the larger market. Articles written in those voices can torpedo a the entire VR industry before it has a chance to even get started. VR HAS to go wide or it will never take off.
Everybody that's boo-hoo'ing about FOV, light rays, and apples/oranges feature comparison needs to chill. This first gen hardware (yes, first gen) and as with all first gen hardware it will contain compromises that will need to be revised to further the state of the art. Yes, the Vive has other features, so does the gear, so does the PSVR, and guess what - some of us like all 4 and will support all of them wherever the content is.
It blows my mind the level of "expert" commentary on these topics. Please, just stop for a second - take a breath - and try to enjoy the content in this new medium and judge the experience on those merits. Yes, there will be things that suck - just like there were things that sucked about 1st gen LCD monitors, or 1st gen iPhones/Androids, or 1st gen consoles. The first real handheld game console was 2 bit color greyscale and 5x the size of a modern smartphone with no backlight. There were no pitchforks back then, why so many now?
Steam does this too.
Are you surprised?
>>332705391
The only problem is that the Vive costs $800.
And? You are aware literally every piece of technology today collects info on you? That you're using a site owned by a man notorious for selling users information? Why the fuck do you care about this?
>inb4 but I d-disable all that stuff to protect muh freedoms
Kekeroo, you actually think companies would let you disable that stuff?
>>332704968
>people who are already on facebook are freaking out about facebook taking your data
So this.... is the power...... of................ irony

Home VR systems are the same as waggle controls, it's a tech fad.
The best use for VR is arcades and therapy.
>>332706392
Does porn fit into therapy?
>>332705976
On top of that, it's not even data they shouldn't have access to. It's just usage data of their own services/applications.
Nothing on the level of system spying Origin did/does, let alone windows 10.
>>332705937
>This first gen hardware (yes, first gen) and as with all first gen hardware it will contain compromises that will need to be revised to further the state of the art.
Then why would anyone buy it?
The prophecy came true.
Facebooky gonna spy-why on you to make sure you aren't using your Ocucucky for porny worny.
>>332706469
I would say yes in a way.
Remember that scene from Minority report where the guy was running a VR bar, giving people whatever they want?
I could see that as a possible outcome of current VR, but better quality systems will obviously make it more approachable by businessmen and customers.
>>332706645
Why does anyone buy pc components, ever?
>>332706362
loadsa outgoing connections despite having all privacy settings set to private and no other programs running
>>332706774
>where the guy was running a VR bar
What, the fucking prison?
Oh yeah, sounds groovy.
>>332706795
Because they're not first gen and actually work well?
>>332706909
Not the prison anon, those guys were just lobotomised/living in their own head.

But it's literally no different from your phone, your OS, your browser, or your video games. Everything we use collects data on us, it's the most valuable commodity in the world.
>>332708582
>your OS, your browser, or your video games
Only if you are retard
>your phone
Much harder to have privacy but still doable.
>>332708764
That stuff still collects data even if you turn off the stuff they tell you about. Also your ISP collects the data for literally everything you use on your home network, and there's nothing you can do about that.
>>332708883
I doubt my ISP knows what I send between my computers through my router on my home network.
>>332708126

You could just block FB's tracking
>>332710283
>>332709350
Dare i say, *you're the retarded one here?
>>332704968
And the problem is?
Why do I care if they see me stalling people on Facebook or what have I waste my time on?
>>332710375
Just because I can stop them from collecting information doesn't negate the fact that they're trying to collect it in the first place.
>>332705662
>>332705435
autists hate getting spied,they think when they get spied they are doing something wrong
>>332710375
Too hard to keep track of all of it. They can easily add a bunch more servers and throw in an update and then it will take a bit for peerblock to get the IPs in as to what to block. It is mostly just placebo. The only real solution is just not to use their shit at all.
>>332705937
You know, I swore off reddit a few weeks ago because it caused me to go barreling down the road of another existential crisis, but I JUST happened to check /r/oculus at the right time to see this posted on the front page! What a coincidence, huh?
>>332704968
it was all but confirmed when they partnered with facebook. it was literally the first criticism of partnering with facebook. if anyone thought it wasn't going to track every single thing you do or watch, you would have to be extremely ignorant about what facebook does.
"Oculus installs a service called OVRServerx64.exe which has full administrative rights and stays connected to Facebook."
>>332710375
They'll just unblock themselves with their service, just like Windows 10 does, you can't stop the botnet.
