Whether you use it or not, we all know Facebook’s antics. Always watching what you’re doing, having some mischief with their mobile chat app last year, they always want to know what to advertise to you, and surely want to know as much about you as possible. It comes to no surprise to me that Facebook, who bought Oculus for two billion dollars, would want to watch you while you’re Rift-ing too. Along with Oculus Home, an all-access process is started every time you turn on your PC that uploads various information about you and your system. Devious. To make matters worse, under the ToS Oculus states that it may freely sell this information to third parties in order to target you with emails and probably many other things. Very devious.

I downloaded Oculus Home prior to hearing of this since it was offering a couple free games and I had hoped it was possible someone could make a wrapper of sorts to allow Rift exclusive games to run on the Vive, but now? Oculus doesn’t get my money, and it doesn’t get my time. I’m sorry Palmer, I watched your company grow and I had always been hopeful that you’d bring a good thing to the masses. It’s really sad that it’s turning out this way.

Thanks UploadVR for bringing this to our attention.
