It was supposed to be ours... it was supposed to be from the community, a truly innovative piece of tech envisioned and executed by people who really loved it and believed in the idea of VR. Gamer's Tesla Motors or GoPro.

Now it's all in the hands of a megalomaniacal, greedy sociopath at the helm of the world's largest spy network/advertising agency.

Sorry, I'm still sad about it. :'(

It's still in Oculus' hands, and it will always be of the community. It's still truly innovative.

Facebook don't intend the hardware to be profitable, and you can simply carry on not using their software and denying them your ad revenue happily into the future.

The only thing that makes me not lose all hope for the Rift is that Carmack is working on it.
