Yup. Non starter. Hopefully Nvidia wakes up and creates a console with a packaged GPU of theirs. I'll happily buy an appliance but I'm not spending anything on a machine that requires me to actively participate in the Facebook ecosystem.
Oculus is owned by Facebook and will never change that. It's a completely useless hardware platform, IMO. Even buying one requires monetarily supporting Facebook, which is unethical in my view.
yes. If you watch any adult movies or play any adult games Facebook sucks all that up and adds it to your profile. Have had this confirmed by friends at Oculus.
Wont be buying any more Oculus equipment until I can be sure there is no data collection period
Yep, even if they'd be offering it for free, after adding the privacy tax for all the data they siphon, I certainly wouldn't touch it. Exactly the reason why I went with HTC Vive.
This was also my reason. I'm glad I made it too, because even though the oculus was $100 cheaper, my understanding is that it doesn't do room scale as well.
Though I wish valve would stop with their stupid trackpads.
In the US, do privacy policies have any backing in law? Is there any penalty for a company for violating its stated privacy policy?
I guess a company might include a penalty clause in its EULA that would promise customers remunerations for violations, and give customers rights to investigate such violations.
The Oculus privacy policy has a blanket clause that lets it share and receive information from Facebook and Facebook-owned services.
I’ll come back when that’s no longer the case.
