Well my previous comments seem to be disproven now. But, the optimist in me needs to remind us that this is only a rumor, not set in stone.

What I'm hopeing for is just a Facebook app for the rift, nothing more. If the whole interface is all Facebook, then we have a problem.

And if I recall correctly, the rift uses android (maybe I'm wrong. Someone correct me if I am) so they might just be developing a Facebook app that can be launched within the rifts interface.

All the content on that website is all crap, and Palmer Luckey said that none of this would be happening.

More like penis in the ass.. but I have to question the legitimacy of this article though.

 

I loled however when I imagined this girl using Oculus to view her collection of 3d mapped selfies:

And it begins...

 

 

Well VR is dead before it began... what a shame.

 

 

Wouldn't be surprised. 2 Billion to not include any FB things into it? Yeah right. I can only think of Zynga (or whatever that social media game dev is) titles coming out on this now.

 

 

The seems to be quite a bit about this for it to only be a rumour...

 

Sir TDH is displeased about this. 

 

 

this cannot be true....

This is a link to The Escapist where they have a link to a New York Times interview with an un-named employee of Facebook. According to The Escapist there is no further info.

I mean surely there were other companies that were looking to buy Oculus....

Why Facebook?

 

I hope it tanks HARD!

They need to learn a lesson about image and consumer trust.

Money makes people do dumb stuff.

I actually find this news somewhat funny. Imagine it winding up like that awful Facebook Home UI on the HTC First.

Petition to start work on a custom LTT rift interface which we would hack on it & remove all the facebook junk.

You just made me wonder. What relationship would end quicker, one with two tops or two bottoms? These guys are really stubborn too. :P

I wonder if Carmack wishes he'd stayed at id.

It really surprises me.

A person like Carmack at the helm and they still take a wrong turn.

@LinusTech is watching....

 

Linus! what are your views on the whole debacle? Please respond oh voice of reason in these dark times!
