Launchpad excludes non-Americans.
I was very excited to apply for the Launchpad program, which incidentally was my only chance of attending OC6 due to the late date announcement. (Flight prices)
But now i find out that the program is only open to citizens of the US and Canada.
That's... not very diverse.
So I feel screwed over doubly, I cannot attend OC6 due to the late date announcement, because flight prices are too high so close to the date and because I'm just excluded from Launchpad for where I live.
To contrast I'm very happy that Oculus Start is expanding to new countries every year, and as a European I'm included. I'd just love it if this policy was extended to Launchpad and the OC dates to be announced half a year earlier next year.
