I'm tired of saying fuck Facebook on HN threads, but man, fuck Facebook. If I ever move my racing sim rig to VR, it's definitely not going to be an Oculus.

I'm tired of saying fuck Facebook on HN threads, but man, fuck Facebook.
If I ever move my racing sim rig to VR, it's definitely not going to be an Oculus.
- halfFact 6y agoThis really is no surprise. So many threads on the front page shocked at the evils of Facebook and Apple. All were predicted given their past record. Don't buy from bad companies and this isn't an issue.
- Ace17 6y ago... except when the non-bad company you bought your DK-1 from gets bought by a bad company.
- ahartmetz 6y agoNon-bad companies could set up "will not get bought by Facebook" poison pills. Say they will release all IP to the public domain when acquired by Facebook. Enforceable contract with a third party.
- goodluckchuck 6y agoThat's exactly what happened here. The question is whether Oculus's customers will enforce the promises of never requiring a Facebook login.
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agoI'm tired of reading these type of comments. Do you enjoy VR? Just create a facebook account, that's not a big deal. There's nothing evil there, people are just grasping for straws.
- apazzolini 6y agoI deleted my FB account over 5 years ago. A few years after that, I tried creating a new one to sell something on Marketplace, and they closed my account, saying I needed to provide a driver's license due to fraud. I'm not giving FB my driver's license to sell something online, and I'm certainly not going to do it to play a video game in VR.
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agodon't you do that on other platforms like ebay and amazon?
- apazzolini 6y agoYou give your diver's license to Amazon?
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agoif you're a seller I'd imagine you have to give a form of ID yes, as a buyer they have pretty much all my information from credit card to address of residence.
