I was one of those guys that have been watching oculus from the beginning and telling everyone I know that would be interested, got my pc up to par so that it could run it and everything. This new ...

I am so horribly disappointed in Oculus. They had it all. They had the hype, they were able to keep it going for YEARS to finish their product, they even sold out to facebook and still managed to keep the hype... And now this.
I was looking forward to finally be able to buy the finished and polished version of their gear, I was with oculus from the very beginning, awaiting their every move in extatic anticipation. Now I don't know what to say anymore.
They managed to kill me as an early fan. I created this account only to be able to tell them this:
I will not buy your product. Your pricing policy is there only to take advantage of us. You practically gave them away for 250$ or 300$ in the beginning, always telling us: but it's not the finished product, it will be buggy, better wait for the finished thing. Now I did my waiting and waiting and waiting and... you doubled, almost tripled in price. 761$
Guess you didn't want to have a world where most pc-gamers had your product, make your money in licenses, and newer versions every few years. You had to cash out on us now. Guess FB will get their money's worth.
I got a high-end pc just to plug your gear into. I will not spend half of what a good high-end pc cost for vr-goggles.
:cry: :cry: :( :(
I guess they were right. You either die a hero, or you ride your f-ing hype train long enough to become the villain.
