Facebook just bought Oculus Rift

Their basic business model is pretty much the corporate version of the Zerg swarm. Consume everything.

I’m sure there will be something to keep it open and such.
Oculus would have been the next Valve. Sad.

I just wanted to check out some porn to go to sleep happy, and I find this.
Now the tears won’t let me sleep.
It’s over.

Really, as long as the promised qt simulators get released, nothing will truly be lost.

are you….. WHY DOES SOCIAL MEDIA RUIN EVERYTHING
hats off to all the famous youtubers that got the dev ones early because now they’re going to have all this (
“Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face – just by putting on goggles in your home.” - Mark Zuckerberg )
bullshit crammed onto them.

Think about it, Zuckerberg became rich by stealing other peoples ideas, it’s in his nature to consume anything that look valuable, no matter how unrelated it is to social media.

Future ain’t looking bright.
And just imagine if this thing flops: VR technology would be halted for at least a decade.
This is just as bad as EA buying anything, probably a whole lot more.
I just wanted this thing to escape from most of the people around me, now comes the biggest social network in fucking existence and shatters that dream in one swift swoop out of fucking nowhere.
GG Mark, one move checkmate.

I sure hope it’s not as bad as it seem-
“Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever”

Literally the only reason this thing got memetically popular is the potential for dating sims and the like. Look up one of the most popular videos about it. It’s showing it paired with a Novint Falcon for…yeah.
As long as people can do that, and the technology is still there, people will eat it up.
Not only that, but they have major competition from Sony. Competition in this market is good. And to be honest, I’d be shocked if Microsoft and possibly Nintendo didn’t have something down the line.

He used to be cool, but now he’s just a contrarian.
Better quote: “This would be like if IBM bought Apple after it showed the Apple I at the Homebrew Computer Club.”
I think people wanted Valve to buy them.

I want to believe. I want to believe Facebook will not interfere in anything other than what they will do with all their money, but that’s pretty fucking hard.
I’ve seen too many of my favorite stuff get fucked in the ass thanks to mainstream, I don’t want this one thing to also go down.

Like I said, the waifu simulators will be there even if they try to fight them.

I hope they won’t made it facebook only but the whole facebook’s system is based on making themselves impossible to not deal with.

It looks awful. I can’t believe they seriously stepped up to compete with the OR.
Perhaps this was the saving grace Sony needed to avoid bankrupcy, ‘cos that shit sure wasn’t going to pull through with the OR also in the market.
I mean, even fucking Dewrito and Kotaku “journalists” were talking shit about it, that’s pretty fucking awful.

Yeah, because obviously, the OR was super seekrit since the beginning.

Pretty much was. I know it sounds like I’m overstating how much the dating sim thing affected its popularity, but that’s one of the main reasons why several places were interested in it period.

Or any games for that matter. Search your feelings, know facebook is going to make it closed source only and is going to lock any outside development to be true.
