They will make it another delivery method for Facebook. Want to escape into a virtual world? Well your cousin that won't stop posting status updates about his band is coming with you.

Or maybe you get your unit cheaper because it will be full of ads.

I am reactioning for sure bro.

A lot of people being super reactionary about this right out of the gate...I'm not so cynical. For VR to really take off and make a meaningful leap into mainstream acceptance, it would need to attain a certain critical mass for developing for it to be worthwhile for a broader range of companies. Facebook could potentially be a company that has the level of reach to hasten the acceptance of this tech.

Worst case scenario? Sure they fuck up something promising, or somehow lock off or hinder the ability for games to use it (why would they?). Better case scenario? A massive flood of interest in VR and potentially bringing in a whole new crowd of people trying out games for their new piece of hardware. Color me optimistic.

I don't want OR to be social. The whole reason I want it is so I can escape this world without having to kill myself. This is terrible news.

This sounds a lot like the piracy argument, where 1 pirated game equals 1 lost sale. It's bullshit.

The truth is that I have bought lots of games for 3 to 6 dollars that I would have NEVER bought at full price. So instead of getting $0 from me the developer got a few bucks from me just for curiosity.

That's good for me and the game maker.

How about a system where comments are voted up or down? This "message deleted" approach seems a bit totalitarian. Let us decide which comments we want to see.

Video game stories are dumb but that's okay because they are video games and I don't turn on a video game expecting Of Mice and Men or War and Peace or even writing on the level of Breaking Bad. I am totally cool with this, I just want to PLAY something fun and engaging.

I don't expect the show Justified to have seamless multiplayer with balanced skill trees and I also don't expect Headshot Combat 3 to have really natural sounding dialogue and graceful character arcs.

And that's okay!
