Thank you
Hello, I tried to record this message but the quality was awful, so I decided to write it instead.
My name is David and I wanted to share a video with you, about what it meant to me that you are giving free Oculus for those who pledged in the Kickstarter campaign.
When I pledged for the Oculus The Rift Kickstarter campaign, I was working on a project for the Medical School from the University of Harvard as a computer programmer. I had a good job and I could afford it, so I did it.
But my project finished and I lost my job.
After three years unemployed, trying to get a job position, my brother died. He used to run half-marathons, marathons, even ultra marathons, and he was dead.
But not only that, he died of an hereditary heart disease that my mother, my father, my other brother and me could have. Since then, we have been doing tests, trying to figure out if we have his same disease or not.
The output of these tests are two:
1, you have it
2, we don't know
They can't tell you that you don't have it, that's why we've been doing tests every 3 or 6 months since 2014. And maybe you could think that if they didn't find it already we're safe.
But it's not like that.
When we arrived the first day to make the first test we met a man who was waiting. He was fat, really fat, and in theory this disease only develops in those who does a lot of exercise. He did all the tests we were about to do and his cardiologist told him to come back in 10 years.
10 years...
When they called him to do the tests again he didn't even remember them, and after 10 minutes of the first test they told him.
You have it.
And he was waiting to talk to his cardiologist, to know what he had to do then. That's why we'll have to keep doing tests for the rest of our lives, because we can't stop doing them. It's not something like, if you have it, you feel dizzy or something.
If you have it and you don't treat it, you die.
Now, in January of 2016, when we're about to do these tests again, still unemployed and very nervous, I heard about they opened the pre-order for the Oculus Rift Consumer Version.
And I was frustrated. Because I wanted it so much but I couldn't afford it.
And then, an email from Oculus arrived my account...
Thank you...
Thank you very much...
