wow.....now VR is looking like.... who dont want to develop sth for VR. :lol: I think we'll see a few more games at launch.... a turning point indeed. VR is a change that our world needed for a long time.

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.
Yay, now they can build the future together.
Oculus was pretty much on track and every hope for VR enthusiasts and gamers until the buyout and were on track of delivering the best consumer version they could growing naturally from there, they may have resources in the short term, but have absolutely no control over the long term development. Another hire obviously changes everything about that... somehow.
It's sad, because this means Valve is apparently out as possible competitor bringing everyone VR.

Valve had already declared that they would be supporting OVR instead of developing their own competing device. I doubt the FB news would have changed that stance.
This is exactly why it's best to keep your emotions in check. A lot of people made total asses of themselves over the facebook buy out. Just look at all the talent and capital resources that are pooling together at Oculus, this is going to happen and it's going to be far better than anything that has come before.
