Why I dislike Oculus specifically:

- Owned by Facebook, I don't want to lose even more personal data than I already have to them

- They made several promises that they did not hold (Stock availability for preordern, price range, controllers)

- The controllers aren't even available yet and kinda make the oculus useless (Vive has great controllers)

- Vive has better room-scale tracking of movement

- Requires at least a 970 (same as for the Vive) and I'm not really wanting to buy a new one since my 780 still holds damn well otherwise

- Already mentioned: Windows only

However my biggest issue with the Oculus is that they want to "VR-lock" games specifically for the Oculus and I think that's the shittiest move they could've pulled. This alone is a no-go for me.
