#2I borrow the office Rift every couple of months to play around for a weekend and see how the field is progressing. Unfortunately what I've mostly seen is a bunch of regressions, technical and ux, as they update their platform.

The new home 2.0 and especially Dash are leaps and bounds above what home was like before I think. You do have to enable it (still beta) but I think it'll be really nice once it's finally released.

Not an Oculus user but I couldn't imagine using their beta software if their actual QA'ed release upgrades have brick level bugs in them...

#6They let their certificate expire, essentially bricking all of their devices. And now the app running it won't start, so they can't push an update.
Just recently picked up a Rift. I love the hardware and their exclusives are top notch, but this confirms my suspicions that their backend is super goofy.
They sell Rifts at Best Buy and want to pretend that it's a consumer-ready product, but here's why I am recommending people stay away for now:
- Non-existant repair or service out of Warranty.
- Basic things in the platform like changing your name or photo don't exist.
- Lots of non-response over other basic features requested by the community.
- Questionable future investment in the platform or hardware. It sounds like they are moving their efforts towards "lighter" experiences.
In short, it feels like being a legacy customer for a new product.

This also suggests that if the decide they stop supporting it, eventually the software will stop working due to these certificate errors for which will then there be no fix.

> essentially bricking
It's not bricked, bricking means it's as useful as a brick as in the actual firmware is corrupted beyond repair.

I feel like kicking out the actual founder of the company may have been a bad idea. Politics or whatever, I get it, but it doesn't feel like there's a vision guiding what VR is supposed to become.
