John Carmack's Oculus Connect Keynote Probably Had Samsung Cringing

An anonymous reader writes John Carmack, famed keystone developer of 3D networked gaming, has now been working with virtual reality company Oculus for over a year. Much of that time has been spent collaborating with Samsung on the forthcoming Gear VR headset. At his keynote presentation during Oculus Connect, Carmack took to the stage with 90 unscripted minutes of no holds barred discussion of the last 12 months in VR. 'I believe pretty strongly in being very frank and open about flaws and limitations so this is kind of where I go off message a little bit from the standard PR plan and talk very frankly about things,' he said to applause from the audience.

Even the nausea I get every time I lift a Samsung product?

It's still a prepared fake if you ask me. Unless he says "well, Facebook bought it so now it's guaranteed to go down the toilet" then he's not really being all that honest, is he? If I know and you know that FB will turn it into a pay to play, ad-infested, privacy nightmare then certainly he knows it.
