Comments on: Oculus Rift Acquired by Facebook for $2 billion http://www.techoftomorrow.com/2014/news/oculus-rift-acquired-by-facebook-for-2-billion/ Sun, 06 Jul 2014 11:11:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.3 By: steven http://www.techoftomorrow.com/2014/news/oculus-rift-acquired-by-facebook-for-2-billion/#comment-16270 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:06:00 +0000 http://www.techoftomorrow.com/?p=9703#comment-16270 I was considering looking at getting a Rift when the consumer version came out but I we will just have to see what happens now. My hope is not entirely dead after watching Logan and Wendall on Tek Syndicate talk about it. I still don’t see it being a great direction for the Rift to go when there were so many other companies that could have bought it and pumped the money and technology into it that it needed. Like I said thought only time will tell and it really doesn’t look good.

I feel like the potential dropped to near zero. It would have been so much more without Facebook behind it. Also, Facebook bought WhatsApp for 17 billion, but thought the Rift was worth 1/8th of the price? I just don’t know what to think anymore man.

Weeeeeeeell @#$%! These “Facebook Visionaries” have a severe lack of vision if “social platforming” is what they’ve got in mind. Seriously, Now they’re going to shove a huge POS version of Google glass down our throats or somthing!? HOW THE HELL DOSE ONE BECOME PART OF A SOCIAL PLATFORM… WITH VR GOGGLES!? You’ve got to be sitting down to use these… Why not just use normal social platforms that we are so graciously spammed with!? They better mean social platform as in GAMES, LIKE THE OCULUS IS MEANT FOR! (and training purposes as well)… Bye bye my interest in the Oculus… cheap sellouts…

Facebook sucks btw.
