I completely understand the reservations about Facebook now owning the Oculus, but I don’t understand why there’s such a huge backlash on the original developers. Would you honestly say no to $2bill? I wouldn’t.
It’s also, in a way, a fantastic opportunity for the original team to expand their horizons with more funding - IF Facebook don’t tie down a leash on their plans and focus them on social media enhancement.
It’s old technology that’s finally being revived - like the touchscreen - but I don’t see what the fuss is about. Although - Oculus has already taken a HUGE blow after Notch (minecraft dev) pulled out of plans to support it. Who knows where its future lies now…
