Facebook hasn't messed up anything yet ... why is everyone so negative ? ... Okay ... I would rather have seen google buying ocilus and integrate it with glass 

 

I'm just not a fan of the fact that big companies buy all the small to become greater and not letting a chance to smaller companies

Some how I think this is going to be on the WAN show, not sure why...

Are you kidding? I bet Linus will have to stop Slick from killing FB, this is definitely going to be on the WAN show

Except Facebook itself. In case you use it, can you tell me when was the last time you used it for something social that is not Candy Crush or other game related thing?

I did a double take to make sure this wasn't the onion. This ruins my entire week. I could understand Oculus being bought by a larger company to ensure its survival but WHY FACEBOOK!!! Rift is first and foremost a gaming device, this makes no sense. I was actually going to buy one, not anymore.

wow guys, way to represent the internet as NOT a bunch of kneejerk spastics.
John Carmak is still on the team and none of the original staff has been layed off yet, not to mention the fact that Oculus has been scrambling for funding through its whole development.
Now they can appeal to the whole board of Facebook investors and Facebook has never been a bad company in terms of technology, they just suck at privacy which as we all know we can easily control ourselves (hotspot shield anyone?)

 

Don't stop purchasing Oculus products because then VR really will die, just keep being loud about your concerns, Investors hate angry mobs.

Well, there goes any excitement I ever had for Oculus Rift.

I hope Valve will release their own VR headset now.

 

Not to mention, why only 2 billion? I mean, come on, Facebook bought an app for 19 billion!

I wonder if Oculus could still screw FB and not sell the company?:D That would be so epic, would bring them a lot of buyers just because of the publicity, would be a very good trick!

This thought just occurred to me, what do the Kickstarter backers think of this?

 

I imagine "Fuck Kickstarter" Hopefully people will realize they're being used by scam artists and stop funding this types of projects.

Mark Zuckerberg must have dreams of being a real life James Halliday and building his own OASIS.
