DEBATE And The Dropping Of Oculus Rift (Read If You Give A Shit About Your Country Anymore)
https://i.imgur.com/dksg10H.jpg

The part of the debate last night that completely sickened me to the core of course came from Hillary... When she exclaimed that she was going to have an individual who would help her investigate any wrong doing and help hold each and everyone accountable for their actions was what floored me! I mean seriously? You of all people stating that you would make sure everyone followed the laws of government and would be held accountable for any unlawful acts is literally the all time greatest example of "The Pot Calling The Kettle Black"!! The fact that this woman, who was caught doing so many wrongs by the FBI that you cannot even count them all and also cheated With the help of the entire DNC to undermine Bernie Sanders from the get go could actually look the camera in the eyes and say accountability and justice was going to be of the utmost importance to her is dumbfoundingly hypocritical and the perfect reason as to why I could never ever allow myself to vote for this woman plain and simple! 

It will always tear at my heart and soul that Bernie wasn't on that stage tonight and the fact that so many people are supporting her after all of the facts that she stole that election from Bernie... The Democrats royally screwed up by sticking with this woman and millions upon millions of Americans sticking with her is beyond heartbreaking... I will never understand what is happening and how so many people can just let every single wrong she has committed simply slide by just because they are supporting the Democratic name... There is still Jill Stein who actually gets her hands dirty and does it regularly! Tell me which candidate has actually been up at the protest against the oil pipeline which is being built against the rights of our nation's native American people's?? That's right! The answer is Stein! Yet the Democratic party and Hillary is getting millions of supporters after all of their wrong doing simply because people are voting Democrat and nothing more!

In other news several virtual reality game developers have announced that they will stop supporting Facebook’s Oculus Rift VR headset until its founder Palmer Luckey steps down. Developers announced that they will stop supporting the Oculus Rift after The Daily Beast revealed that Luckey raised money for a pro-Donald Trump non-profit through a convoluted Reddit scheme. As Motherboard reported on Friday, Luckey’s Twitter activity has been sympathetic to the alt-right and the bigotry that defines it since March of this year.

"Insomniac Games condemns all forms of hate speech," Insomniac Games, makers of big-budget console games like Ratchet & Clank and one of the biggest developers making games for Oculus, told Motherboard. "While everyone has a right to express his or her political opinion, the behavior and sentiments reported do not reflect the values of our company. We are also confident that this behavior and sentiment does not reflect the values of the many Oculus employees we work with on a daily basis."

The decision to drop support for the Oculus Rift comes at a critical time for the platform. If VR really is the media of the future as evangelists like Luckey claim it is, we are currently in the landgrab phase. The major platforms in this race are Facebook’s Oculus Rift, Sony’s PlayStation VR, Google’s Daydream, and Valve and HTC’s Vive. Since games are still the primary attraction for early VR adopters, and since the greatest challenge for all VR platforms is securing enough content to make them worth buying, losing support from game developers could seriously damage Oculus.

Oculus has invested a lot of money and effort to encourage developers to make games for the Rift. The company has even gone as far as to secure exclusive games and prevent them from being ported to other platform with DRM, though it rolled back its DRM after an outcry from the community.

Political beliefs aside, this is absolutely ridiculous! No longer developing for the Oculus Rift because the creator of the Oculus Rift favors a different political candidate over the one you favor is completely ignorant. How many of us out there work for a boss that holds every single opinion as we do? Now if the creator of the Rift was forcing developers to support Trump then I would understand their actions completely! Yet, as a free thinking democracy that we live in, quitting working for a company simply because the owner doesn't support the same political candidate as you is completely childish and unfounded... 

I'm sure some of you will label me a trump supporter because of this post but I am actually a supporter of everyone's right to support whatever candidate they want to! Business and political views should be separated end of story! In fact, it kills me how much drama that differing political views cause. I have seen amazing friendships lost because of differing political views! Hell, I have even seen really good relationships end because of them... Why can we appreciate the differing views that we all share? 

That is in fact what makes our nation so amazing is it not? I have never ever met one politician that anyone has agreed with 100%. In the end with the two party system we have, we must simply vote for the candidate that suits our goals the best. Labeling every Hillary supporter as someone who just wants to rely on the system is absolutely absurd! At the same time, labeling every trump supporter as a red neck or racist is just as absurd! Anyway, I didn't wanna get too political so I end this now.

I agree with you on the Hillary moment. I actually yelled at the TV! At this point, with all of the information that's come out about her, I don't get how anyone can support her. I try to respect everyone's opinion but wake up people!
