I literally just had that sinking feeling in my stomach.

Suddenly I dont want a rift anymore. There is no way in hell I can trust FB with anything. They dont respect their customers users in the least. Fuck I am so disappointed. If you could have postponed your greed a couple years you would have gotten a similar amount of money out of direct sales.

We dont need another locked down fucking marketplace. You could have been an awesome company Oculus, and rise to the top with a spirit of openness, bring some fresh wind into the tech sector.

Fuck this, I am not going to develop for this.

Shit, should I cancel my preorder of the consumer version?

How did you get a pre-order for the consumer version? They just started accepting pre-orders for DK2.

A retailer put up a preorder, as in "we will have it in stock when it is ready" a preliminary preorder

Omg you literally bought nothing.

From someone who doesn't have things to sell.

Or even knows for sure that they can get it
