Google just bought HTC. (Includes HTC Vive subsidiary) Discussion

HTC was just bought out by Google. So now they own the intellectual property of all of HTC, this must include the HTC subsidiary HTC Vive correct? It was "developed" with Valve. So now can we say Occulus is run by Facebook, and the Vive is run by Google? Say hello to your new overlords? Google is taking over the hardware engineers especially.

for what purpose?

Just in case archive.is can track where you were redirected from. Doesn't matter to discuss about this, you can fix the link on your own.

Well if they will actually make decently priced VR I won't complain too much.

that's a big if my friend.

This almost makes me glad Facebook exists so Google isn't a tech monopoly

so we have to jailbreak the HMD to get rid of the electronic jew regardless of manufacturer now

I mean, good for them.

Go ahead, protect your language. Americans will destroy it anyways.

...

Who the fuck GIVES A SHIT? Are you fucking mentally ill? We archive simply to stop giving these ✡sites✡ ad hits and views.

What?

You can check out the Razer OSVR. It's currently selling for $240. You can also buy it disassembled for even cheaper.

You're the one that cares by posting a response, I already made the archive, quit getting your knickers twisted and attempt to derail.

thanks jewgle

Post appropriately or get called out for being a faggot, you faggot.

This is bait, you aren't fooling anyone.

I also also had the big hot dog, very yummy!

...

Have you never heard the saying a big if?

You're responding to either a bot or a non-white. Either way, it's not worth the attention.

Pimax are the shitty chink heroes we deserve

Guess we're never getting VR waifus, guys. It was a good run. Is there any reason to not kill myself right now?

...

...

what's next, a google game console

Let's just calm down before we start spouting things that could get a lot of people hurt. Please meme responsibly.

Because OP is a cock swallowing faggot
archive.is/GFXuV
archives don't track you fucking queerbag.

Ok goys, so who is a lesser danger and with company has lesser odds of trapping me in virtual add hell matrix?

Google or Facebook?
Although i hate that i would trust google more, Zucc gives me that inhuman reptilian jewish vibes, i wouldn't wear anything associated with him on my head even if i was put under a gun

What about porn?

Fuck everything, I'm sick of fucking kikes stealing everything taht has potencial and killing it completely.

It's a gimmick. A clumsy baby step towards gynoid fuckbots that make you lunch.

Don't forget that the people who sold out to these companies (Occulus Rift, HTC, et al) are the real ones to blame. Always kill a traitor before an enemy.

Avoid both.

If you want to get into VR, wait a year or two. Wait to see how PixMax's headset is. Vive did one very good thing before (((google))) got their hands on it - it allowed SteamVR to standardize VR APIs so well that my old Oculus DK2 works flawlessly with Steam even though it runs on an outdated runtime and is no longer officially supported.

It's all going to be third parties from here on out. Oculus tech isn't up to spec and they're taking the console route of going for exclusives while still competing against Steam. Google is slimy as fuck, I would avoid post-buyout Vive.

...

why hasn't anyone in this thread pointed out that OP is retarded? google did not buy HTC. google bought 2000 people from HTC to boost their hardware design division, it has nothing to do with the Vive and HTC is still completely independent

techreport.com/news/32580/google-acqui-hires-2-000-htc-employees-for-1-1-billion

sorry my nihon friends but even your work isn't enough to get me to spend this retard amount of cash on these scam devices. Honestly the only decent VR solution is PSVR and there's no fucking games for it anyway.

...

the future of all the goyim right here in this picture

you are as retarded as OP

I was wondering when you'd show up retard.

he is pretty cool tho

The point is HTC products will be handled by Google for a period of time, but It doesn't say whether Vive also is.

where do you get this shit? no, no HTC products are being handled by google. you are completely misrepresenting the facts. HTC is selling 2000 employees, most of whom were already working on Google hardware products (i.e. the Pixel), to Google. Google has nothing to do with anything that is branded HTC (aside from the obvious involvement with the Android OS and HTC products that use it). Google has nothing to do with the Vive, it doesn't WANT to have anything to do with the Vive because it has its own VR system and products

How will goobergates ever recover from this?

I'm a faggot for not clicking the image and not doing that in the first place.
But OP is a fucking faggot trying to stir up drama via lies to promote discussion ala cuckchan.
Time for a roll thread

, non-exclusive means Google doesn't get sole dibs on HTC's stuff, and the fact it's a license means Google doesn't own shit.

Reminds me of pic related.

I dont give a shit about VR but google gettings its tentacles into it worries me

roll :D

Roll

Who is this imageboard semen demon?

By the sentence that says they get non-exclusive licensing agreement for some of HTC's intellectual property.

A whore that looks like all the others

Google, or Alphabet really, purchased an average of 1-2 companies per month.

I bet most of them are dead

...

There's a sliver of hope that Japan can create a successful enough waifubot industry that will be untouchable by the Western SJW tech monopolies. Of course, you best bulk up now so you can fight against the Google and Facebook PMCs that will shoot everyone who tries importing their illegal, gross, sexist, and problematic waifus.

alright no
Google needs to get its ass slapped into the ground.

Nigger bot

They operate as a single unit you fucking moron.

When did VR stop becoming a retarded meme?

The moment it managed to fool a considerable amount of morons into it, not enough to get the gaming going though. They will just market VR somewhere else, "education" perhaps :^)

Wouldn't it be ironic if the guy you responded to was a non-white?

that's not how any of this works.

anyway this thread is shitty clickbait and all you stupid niggers that believe it and spread it are the worst cancer imaginable on the face of the planet

They're already making changes to their designs hardware wise, like I said effectively giving them more control over HTC's products.

please use archive.is/gadgets/2017/09/googlehtc-deal-is-official-google-to-acquire-part-of-htcs-smartphone-team/

OP posted bullshit but I don't know what you're whining at me for.

...

You should kill yourself. To the other newfags that are undoubtedly reading this, you break links like this: archive.is/GFXuV which allows it to be easily copy-pasted.

Or leave the https:// out, works too.

do you think archive sites are run by magical fairies? especially ones hosted on the .is domain? any fucking site will fucking look at its referrer info dumbass

Now we need this with Eric Schmidt.


And then retards use http instead, so they're even more vulnerable to government dragnet surveillance.

They are just going to keep the patents and sell off the rest, just like they did with Motorola. That deal was the first red flag for me that something was terribly wrong with Google.

RIP VR.

so every new htc will be shipped without a headphone jack & expandable storage.

Google is a tech monopoly, only faggits use fb

You're thinking of apple.Goggle is going to ship it with a ton of socjus virtue signaling and shit

There will be VR waifus the only thing that has changed now is that google will be able to see you deflower your waifu.

supposedly the pixel 2 doesn't have a jack. apple did it so now every goddamn tech company has to follow suite so they can stand around holding their dicks wondering why everyone is still clinging to old phones.

is there a source that actually confirms which people they bought up? it doesn't sound right and i've never seen anything concrete.

i currently sell cellphone plans and cellphone plan accessories user. apple's major innovation was wireless charging which android have had for a while.
personally i'm not against the current direction google is taking with the phones technology that much.
the vr push between the phone companies is good (maybe denno coil someday) and the vr push leads to higher resolution better refresh rate screens.
google is also locking down android a lot more which i'm absolutely not a fan of, i'm willing to deal with being vulnerable in exchange for control while google is taking away control and not fixing vulnerabilities quickly.

nigger you work part-time at verizon shut the fuck up.

No that is OSVR

roll

So how long before they own Valve too?

Go powder your vagina.

Wait, Valve isn't public, right? I don't think so at least so they couldn't buy them out, I guess.

i work full time at bell actually, i make less doing repairs than i do with sales though.
they're paying for my ccnp i'll take it

I like to masturbate to still images with my smartphone VR goggles on while I'm chilling in bed.

Not really considering how you can believe non-whites contribute the most to unintelligible posts but still have a few individuals that are actually literate which is quite a reasonable belief considering mostly non-whites are non-native speakers.

...

You can buy non public companies, with enough money you can.

just buy the OSVR kit
vrbound.com/headsets/razer/osvr
yeah its made by razer, but its surprisingly cheap and has a fairly decent resolution.
