Well, as the years wear on he, and oculus itself, has established more of itself from the hacker/open source vision. They’ve made enemies along the way, and many of the reasons people hate him/Oculus I disagree with.
It’s an infant field, they need to fund games to even having reasonable games. Making games have become increasingly expensive. Sure there’s a place for indie devs, but those games don’t draw the mainstreamers VR needs to take off like I, and many others need.
That being said, the things I’ve heard and seen from him make me think he does emobdy the gamergate “tech bro” (and I do use that as a pejorative) make my stomach churn. That I can’t really forgive, and don’t want to support.
The privacy aspects of a Facebook (or google for that matter) owning VR, and getting access to what we physically look at for advertising, is such a gold mine. Totally terrifying. That’s one reason my next system will likely be something like the Vive, inspite of me finding Oculus far more polished and fun to have.
EDIT: Interestingly enough I asked him specifically on an AMA if he planned on staying at Oculus, his answer was an emphatic yes: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/40ea0x/i_am_p...
