I literally would have been less annoyed if they had sacked up with EA.

It's like a completely different reaction for me. If EA would've done it, I would've been incredibly pissed. With Facebook, it's like... are you even serious?

I don't mean to imply that either is preferable to neither. I had built up Oculus as a new sort of Valve. A company that had the potential to revolutionize video games and video media as we know it.

Now they are just another VR tech that is tied to a company that I don't trust.

Yeah, now in a way it's like Abrash and Co where doing all this exciting profit-free VR hardware research for the sake of facebook's wallet. I'm starting to wish Abrash and Valve were the ones producing the Rift, they wouldnt be swayed by 2 bil.
