- flukus 9y agoIt seems like the commenters here are still shrugging it off. At least facebook and the oculus division are still around to fix the issue, imagine if this was a company that was now defunct, which could easily have been oculus if facebook hadn't purchased them. You're hardware would now be bricked and you would have no recourse because no one is left to create a new certificate. Or imagine if the occulus 2 was out and they decided that they no longer wish to support the old one, this is the ultimate vehicle of planned obsolescence. It's not just people shrugging it off, many are defending this as being a perfectly fine state of affairs.
