While your situation sucks you made some pretty severe choices to get this. You should think about getting your priorities straight instead of telling others they have theirs wrong.
I wouldn't call saving hard a severe choice, it's not like they were not paying bills or forgoing food. If people want to spend a large number of hours on first then VR and are dedicated to saving for that. I don't see that as priorities not being straight. 1000hrs in VR (over 2-5 years) is equal to $1 dollar a hr.
Kudos to you not everyone agrees..I don't have a problem with that, What I do have a problem with is you using being on disability to look down and be condescending to others that don't agree with you because that is exactly what you did.
People reacting to this price point like they have is quite normal considering it's nearly double what was expected.

It wouldn't have been their fault if they wanted to build a premium product but due to all they said they failed.
I am single yes, and I have only myself to think of as far as that. I wasn't judging anyone - I even said it in my post. I am not better than you or anyone. I was only sharing my opinion that if someone like me can manage to afford it, then it's not "out of reach." Sure, maybe those people have other priorities. That's fine. But they shouldn't attack Oculus like that's their fault. That is what I was saying.

You don't know the choices I made so you can't fairly say that. I didn't give up food or bills or things like that. I simply chose to save money instead of buy games on Steam, or things I wanted in a store, and stuff like that. I have some extra income from a website I help(Trust me it's not much, less than 100 a month) with and did extra work there, and I saved that for nearly half a year.
What's wrong with that? I don't consider prioritizing wants severe at all.

It doesn't even make sense to wait until the price drops because in two or three years CV2 will come out. Maybe they are selling 200k devices (max). Which game developer will produce high quality games when they are no customers (on PC side we have about 100 million devises, on mobile side even more). Developing for VR right now is just stupid. Sorry to say that but with every android game you can make more game.
