Sponsored Oculus Rift Video
🕑 Added 2017-06-16 00:58:21 +0000 UTC Some of you may know that I recently decided to turn down a sponsored video by Oculus as the deal would involve me playing games that i did not enjoy at all. Basically if I am doing anything sponsored then it's essential that i believe in the product and in this case although I love the Oculus rift I did not like the games list I had to play. I also told them I would not say anything they told me with regards to the Oculus or games, I insisted on being able to be myself.I have today been contacted back and told that I can play games I enjoy and I can basically say whatever I like. I am in final talks with the sponsor but would like to ask you guys if any of you have a problem with me doing this sponsored video.
It will basically be me wearing the rift, playing two games, telling everyone it's a sponsored video and then having fun on the games. I always said I would not do a sponsored video for a game that costs money as I review them on my channel. This is for hardware that I already own after extensive research so I personally don't see a problem. I won't be reviewing the games. I actually already own one of the games and it's great "Job Simulator"
Let me know what you think.

I'm not at all a fan of sponsored material, Mack. One of the big reasons why i adore your channel. You speak you mind and nobody is pulling the strings in your voice box via your balls or wallet. But in this case as long as you make it super clear that it's a paid promotion of the product - and be as honest as you usually are, give it a go and let your patreon's decide whether they feel your content was compromised or not. We will let you know. Anyway, love your content mate.
Seems fine to me as you say they haven't forced you to do anything to compromise your integrity. Just be careful they don't start adding small print ;)

yah i'd put a clause in the contract where you get to be yourself and either party can walk away if they don't like it

I dunno. I suppose it's down to personal preference but to me the touch controllers for the rift are far superior and just feel more natural and intuitive than the wands you get with the vive. Using a vive I'm always aware that I got the wands in my hands but with touch I kinda forget they are there which adds to the immersion.
As a new owner of the Oculus myself I'd definitely appreciate some VR reviews. I've got no problem with sponsored videos.
I think if you can say what you think and tbey are willing to sponsor you to do it. Why not.
Yes for cockpit games, it's better than vive from what I hear but room scale vive is better
If you stand behind a product and honest like it, no reason not to do an endorsement.
go ahead mack, just do your thing. you are still an honest awnser in this review mess, just keep going.
So you recommend buying oculus??

As long as it has your PURE opinion on it
Go nuts do what you gotta do bro
No objection from my end Mack, as long as there is a disclaimer I'd love to hear your thoughts on VR games :)
