I think we all can agree that OVR "marketing team" has been dead-behind-the-switch post-Alaska (or even after the Oracle logo debacle) . The dependence on a plan to promote the product through tweets and a figurehead fell flat and with the move to a more FB driven initiative, and definitive statements are at a premium coming from the company (just look at the "three-sensor-recommendation" flare-up as an example).

It is interesting how the ineptitude of the two groups are interchangeable - as if they come from the same management school 😉

Haha kevinw729, I really meant the ms marketing team, but what you say about Oculus is funny.
Now we know a little more about the "component shortage" issue back at CV1's launch I am not as sure as some that MS's relationship with OVR is as close as back in the day - but they seem to have tied goals of a sort.
I also noticed that they had adapted the oracle logo but didn't know there was a debacle about it.
Yeah, the discussion on here was shut down pretty quickly by the fanboys, but other forums had a blow by blow account of the vast sum spent on an over-hyped NY branding company that came up with a logo design that infringed a number of 'look and feel' designs of companies including Oracle.
It would have been too embarrassing to have dropped the investment already blown, so OVR went with it - not sure if still on the internet, but if you Google how the back of the Vive looks like the OVR logo and the CV1 back looks like the HTC Vive logo, its pretty funny...
