We aren't throwing a hissy fit lol. We're just stating the facts and are working with our lawyers to resolve this.

You made a site complaining about the subpoena and came to Hacker News to complain about it some more.

Look, I get that you guys are a small shop but you should not be surprised to be asked to provide evidence in an antitrust litigation over the VR market. I'm guessing you haven't seen a subpoena before - they are all like this, and your attorneys will be able to negotiate something much less burdensome.

So get off Hacker News and let your lawyers handle it.

We made our weekly blog post about it (because it's worth talking about, IMO) and someone else posted it on HN. It blew up and we're responding to comments as necessary.

We're letting our legal counsel handle the actual details, the rest is just talking about it.

They didn't make a site to complain; it's their blog by which they're informing buyers and potential buyers of anything that can affect their progress. It also doesn't matter who shared on HN. Any HN user with an interest in them would have shared something this significant, like I was about to.

hah these sorts of comments definitely smell like there are HNers who likes FAANG money and wanna defend their patrons

If everyone kept their mouths shut as you suggest, we wouldn't know about how rotten the legal system is until it was our turn at the gallows.

why not just respond to their subpoena with one line answers....
Responding to any legal request without legal counsel is a good way to fuck yourself up. There's no "just do x" unless you enjoy playing with fire.
