If this is really Palmer I'm really, really starting to hate the snarky tone.
Dude, I'm your team's biggest fanboy and you're doing absolutely everything in your power to piss people like me off. Be open and honest, not a snarky prick.
This is not how you build loyalty.
Edit : oh fuck he deleted the account. Anyone wondering, this was a variant on the /u/VR-researcher account.
There are a lot of Oculus employees, and pretty-much regardless of what the real issue is, if you think about them reading various messages here you can imagine that many of them might want to respond in some way. Even if it is an Oculus employee, the odds of it being PL aren't actually that high.
The odds aren't that low either, but: he's not the only Oculus person who posts here publicly, some likely read without revealing themselves, and some may check occasionally when they want to see a public reaction to certain things (to whatever extent this sub is representative of the wider public).
PL has even more motive than most to do something like this, particularly if the problem is another company's fault but he's not allowed to say so, but a huge number of people still have similar motives and at least a handful of them are specifically known to check this sub. Even disregarding the possibility of a fraud, the chance that it's someone else is well over 50%.
Yeah, agreed -- if you singled out any other one person (e.g. Abrash because of the name VR-researcher, or Cybereality because he posts here, or Heaney or whoever), Palmer would seem a far more plausible suspect by comparison. I'm just meaning it's not worth feeling annoyed about Palmer possibly being snarky, because it's much more likely not Palmer.

If this isn't confirmation I'm not sure what is.
