‘Big Brother is watching’: Facebook ‘accidentally’ includes secret messages in Oculus VR devices
“The Masons were here” and “Big Brother is watching” are just two of the many secret messages that were accidentally included in thousands of Oculus virtual reality devices, the Facebook-owned company has revealed.

In a series of tweets Nate Mitchell, head of VR for Facebook, said the firm had mistakenly included the secret 'easter egg' messages on the soon-to-be-released Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest controllers. The messages were only supposed to be included in prototypes of the machines.

“While I appreciate Easter eggs, these were inappropriate and should have been removed,” Mitchell said. “The integrity and functionality of the hardware were not compromised, and we’ve fixed our process so this won’t happen again,” he added.
The messages are emblazoned on the ‘flex’ portion of the Touch controllers, Business Insider reported.
“To be clear, no devices have been sold with these messages yet, since Quest and Rift S have not yet shipped,” Johanna Peace, an Oculus representative, said.

“That said, as mentioned in Nate's tweet, the messages will be inside tens of thousands of controller pairs that will ship to consumers when Quest and Rift S ship. We think it's important to be transparent with our community and take responsibility when there's an error,” she added.

I suspect the facebook building is made out of concrete blocks and that's why the masons were there.

LOL! They got a fucked up sense of humour. Crazy that they let them actually print that on something, even if it was just for devs. These things are sometimes put into games and software as a joke by devs...but not printed on hardware as far as I know. Really kinda weird.
If I didn't misread the last bit on the OP, these units are going to be shipped with the text printed on them. That will make them quite collectible.
Interesting.
