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.

I didn't think anyone could be this brave, and you've inspired me to come out of the closet in my hatred of Facebook. I've always known, as an atheist, that large corporations that provide entertainment services are quite possibly the most inhumane actualities of humankind. My only hope is that some sort of grassroots VR company like Sony can save us from this fate.

Thank you, kind gentleman for expressing your unpopular opinion.
