And note this. He joined after the Facebook announcement and pointed out that because of it they will finally be able to do things that were once thought impossible. That canary in the coalmine (Carmack) is not dead. He sang to a friend and now there are two canaries singing in the mine telling us to start digging.
HOLY OMFG SHIT......Palmer wasn't kidding when he said more big news still to come. The Godfathers of gaming have restored all faith in Oculus on my part.
I take back everything I said on Reddit, Palmer! Actually, I only said nice things, so now all those who down voted my comments can go back and up vote them, ya pricks.
This is exactly the reason for the importance of the Facebook buyout. I seriously can't believe how shortsighted and emotional everyone became over something that can now propel VR into the end game.
Oculus was nothing until that buyout. Now VR actually has a chance to be something. Yes, it takes money. Who cares where the money comes from as long as Oculus and it's employees are allowed to continue doing what they have been. Maybe you all need to think of it in this regard, putting up with all those Facebook ads will now actually be helping something worthwhile.
And don't think for a second that ALL of these guys won't jump ship, if Facebook shows signs of screwing with the end goals.
