The German hate speech laws are scary as hell right now . Its no joke that just speaking here will once day constitute hate speech and jail time . <| sep |> Don ' t underestimate the control that combo gives you over battlecry . Bouncing is an interesting mechanic , but making it mandatory is a huge liability that ferryman doesn ' t carry . <| sep |> I think we ' re unlikely to agree on this , but I do appreciate where your coming from , even if I disagree . I think you ' ve got a lot of assumptions here on the way the relationship between Oculus and Facebook has played out . Given the sheer size and resources available to Facebook it ' d be seriously unlikely that the only thing they provide Oculus is funding . Personally I ' ve never had a problem with facebook making money off data and selling Ads , so perhaps that ' s why I have a more neutral opinion of them . It ' s a service I use far more than many paid services I use , and I appreciate I pay for it with data . On the upside , they only have the data I choose to give them . The funding has allowed them to spend more time money on RD which surely is a good thing . It ' s great getting things earlier but I get why they ' ve spent the time . With less funding there would have been a push to get things out before they ' re ready in order to make a return . When it comes to how well different brandscompanies have done it ' s not so clear cut . Sony and Samsung have done well on numbers , but they ' ve piggybacked off existing install basis PS 4 and Phone users and their household names . When it comes to Valve , they ' ve sold the same rough number of units and Oculus , but looking at the rift and vive numbers now tells you nothing about mass market . Facebook is a brand recognised by the mass market , they create a product people use . It makes sense now that Oculus is phasing in that branding . Once we ' re past the early adopter stage I ValveHTC have a bigger challenge breaking through . Not to say they won ' t , just that Facebook brings a lot more to the table than money .
