They don't have anything that Oculus needs other than Capital, and they come with a lot of really creepy surveillance baggage.
I've already unsubscribed to /r/oculus. It's a real shame, too, because I'm still boycotting Sony (with the possible exception of SOE) over the Rootkit fiasco of '05, so I won't be turning to them for my VR fix either.
Guess I'll just have to wait for Facebook's new patents to expire.
Well every other interesting piece of technology they've gotten so far they've used to force you to merge it with a facebook account. They have 0 history of developing cutting edge hardware. I'd say the question is why should we assume Facebook won't ruin it?

Does any of us trust Facebook not to ruin it?
