Why is this cash grab/scam even on the Oculus Store?

This is such a blatant cash grab/scam it amazes me that it's allowed on Home.

For the purpose of scientific research, I'm happy to experiment with any female forum members. And not that type of member 😉
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

This whole "Pick-up Artist" scene is super-creepy, and I'm disappointed to see it show up on the Oculus Store. I see these guys pop up online and in the news from time to time, blathering about how they can trick hundreds of women into sleeping with them like it's some form of revenge, while at the same time going on about how women are the cause of all their problems and are eroding the rights of men.

We had one of them (@PeterAndrewNolan) show up in these forums a couple years ago, posting long-winded rants about how VR sex was going to liberate men from the machinations of women, and how the women's lib movement would therefore target VR and take it away from us. He got himself banned inside of a week, fortunately. Here's an old thread where he and our good buddy @cleverusername carry on with all manor of tinfoil hat stuff and women-hating.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

well , it's all about money, including oculus store and VR, so why should he not get the right to get his share.

This forum has thread about porn VR and I don't know how many games where shooting and killing is the main concept. What a nice way to grab money.

If you don't agree , you can still NOT purchase his apps, and even ignore it.

But treating the app as a cash grab/scam is the worst thing to do (so if it really worked you would purchase it ?).

It can't be any worse than this extremely condescending dripping with anti-white, anti-western sentiment 
"documentary"

Home is starting to look like Steam Early Access. 

I thought they were taking approval of apps seriously.

  1. Shareholders care
  2. Reputation of the host business who accommodates and enables
  3. It takes up unnecessary space
  4. Every time you see this, you could be looking at something more worth while

Bed Bath and Beyond could sell Playboy magazines at the check out counter - it would be one heck of an increase in impulse sales for the company. 

It's not about rights, it's about common sense and providing an appropriate environment for your customers.

This is my forum signature.
There are many others like it, but this is mine.

"Shareholders care" is the best joke I heard this year...

Yeah, Shareholders care about their money.

If killing puppies can grab them more money, they will.

Once it won't anymore, they will put their money into another business.

I don't see a problem here. Only a tendency to think in extremes.
We can talk about feminazis, PUAs and all sort of things. But that is not what the forum is all about, right? This isn't reddit or 4chan.

One question you should always think about is: "I am the target group?"
It seems this is not the case. So, if nobody is the target group then this type of app will fail and nobody has to see it ever again. On the other hand: If there IS a target group for that, then maybe there is a reason for it to stay.

But there is another question that should be asked specifically when it comes to VR: "What benefits do I have using it in VR?"
It seems to me that it adds nothing to it. And that is maybe another thing that could lead into a failure. Because why should you buy it for VR? You could also buy some normal videos.
Excuse my bad english. I speak to you through the google translator. 😛
