That's a totally fair point, but the argument to that is "don't support this developer" not "sell your Oculus Quest". Getting mad at Oculus for this is basicall

That's a totally fair point, but the argument to that is "don't support this developer" not "sell your Oculus Quest". Getting mad at Oculus for this is basically like getting mad at Apple because developers are including ads in their paid apps.
- xg15 5y agoSo who should you get mad at then? Every single app developer? That developer can probably hardly care less that I don't support them. Either the app is good enough that people will endure the ads (in which case they will always preser two revenue streams to one) or the app is not good enough in which case people will stay away on their own. The incentive alignment is pretty clear: if Facebook and users let them, devs will show ads.

No, just the ones who do the thing you don't like. > The incentive alignment is pretty clear: if Facebook and users let them, devs will show ads. Google and Apple pays devs show ads. Therefore all games have ads, right? No. I don't buy games with ads. I have plenty of options. > Either the app is good enough that people will endure the ads (in which case they will always preser two revenue streams to one) Again you're arguing that all games that can have ads, do have ads. This is proven wrong by the world. We have two gigantic app stores with 5 million apps between them. None of the apps on my phone have ads.
