I remember they put out a statement saying it would never require a FB login, and that you were ridiculous to suggest it would ever have ads.
Had an oculus rift DK1 at the time - deleted my accounts, unsubscribed from everything, and bought an HTC vive shortly after it came out. Wasn't buying that at the time, and I feel vindicated now.
- d3nj4l 5y agoI don't think they ever put out a formal statement (I'd love to be corrected on this). What I do remember is Palmer Luckey saying that, but then, it's really on the Oculus community to have believed the words of a 22 year old about to make millions.
- numpad0 5y agoFacebook kept the promise(in airbquotes) though. Whoever behind Palmer’s Reddit account said he _personally_ assure that _Rift_ remains usable forever without an account, IIRC. Facebook killed Rift few years later.
- chandra381 5y agoI'm not personally a big fan of Palmer Luckey but he really shat the bed with that statement. Just completely destroyed his credibility.
