What's all these promotions people are talking about?
Game promotions and sales displayed on Desktop in Oculus Client, and in your face in HMD via Dashboard. There should be a switch to opt out of that just as there's one in any other civilized software I know of. This is not a free software, I paid money for my device, so I should have a right to opt out of ads.Ideally, I would like no Oculus Client starting with my games, only dash with no ads, but I guess the single purpose of it is to drive game sales up, right? ::smile:

Ah I get ya. Never really thought anything of it. Steam is the biggest offender. It's quite subjective I think, I never really paid any attention to it.

I cannot check anymore because after 1.32 closed the last simple door to prevent Oculus Client from starting, I moved back to 1.30FW and so did half of the virtual racers I know. What Oculus does IMHO is counter productive, because no matter how hard they try, there will be a way around, it is just a matter of effort put in. But, this aggressive approach harmed company image in my eyes really badly.

You mean the recommended bit when you put the HMD on?
I am talking about the biggest tile in the dashboard, that displays: Game A, Price N, Game B, Price M. Also, the page that Oculus Client starts with, displaying similar information. That page should be optional, just as it is everywhere else. Imagine Microsoft Store opening in your face every time you log on to Windows, how would that be a nice experience?

How do you just see your games on Steam? (whats the setting) When I open steam it goes to my library but I still get the giant popup.

No, you can turn it off in preferences! No hacks, not workarounds needed. It is opt out choice, as it should be. In my Steam I see only my games. In Steam VR - just empty plane with mountains. That is exactly what I am saying, you can turn this off in Steam/Steam VR, but not in Oculus? That is not right. WMR Portal also does not force it in your face on Desktop nor in headset.
I agree it is subjective, but I do not like it. For paid stuff, I do not want to see ads.

Anyone else having problems getting the pirate items notification. I have logged into my Oculus every day since the announcement and still no pirate gear. Not a huge deal but I get worried that other things maybe wrong.
