I'd be more concerned about this if the complaint was coming from Bolas himself rather than someone else posting out of concern on behalf of someone else. It may be a press-release-style post, but it would be good to see what USC's MxR lab itself had to say about Oculus VR's success in the past:
>A goal of the MxR lab is to broadly disseminate its research. While the promise of personalized immersive virtual reality has been on the horizon for more than 20 years, the FOV2GO project has been publishing open source designs for ways to make it low cost and broadly available.
>Today, the bold actions of one entrepreneurial former member of the FOV2GO team - Palmer Luckey – is kicking this into high gear via this Kickstarter effort.
>We are impressed with Palmer’s gumption to make the Oculus Rift happen and helping to provide a widely disseminated platform. We wish Palmer all the good Luck in the world.
