]ggmcgee 5 points 7 hours ago* My bet is that they switched too much focus to software instead of getting the hardware right. Or that there are too many cooks in the kitchen now and people are butting heads. I think this answer from Carmac last year is really telling about the internal structure at Oculus and how it might not be going so smoothly: http://youtu.be/SHv9T3M2FKs?t=56m3s "There are thoughts and gestalts and ways of doing things inside Oculus that are precluding us from exploring some of the things that might wind up being important." permalinksaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]soon2beaher 2 points 5 hours ago This is what happens when a company gets bought out, compartmentalized, shifting priorities, downsizing, ship jumping, it can create a big mess and inconsistency. Valve is looking like the go to
I always heard too many chiefs and not enough indians.
Uh huh..."jumping ship" when ONE person from OculusVR left? And where are you getting "big mess" and "inconsistency" from? The same place where you currently have your head?------>Your ass
Stanford talk on small padawan teams being acquired by facebooks. I hear Palmers best buddy Joe lonsdale xo founder of palantir is banned from that campus for raping his student intern?!? You are the company u keep? Or the better known hard to be a hero when u are surrounded by zeroes?
I was at IBM so I saw this internal bumbling with lack of focus. Bill gates told my IBM bosses you can't pay programmers by lines of code. Wrong incentive structure. Carmack was willing to criticize the hand that feeds. He may be the only one that can walk away with his integrity. Thanks twitch. It means a lot. I will take a carmack with integrity over everything else.
