Facebook Just Bought Oculus VR

= motion sickness 4 me . . Oh well.

Why doesn't Facebook buy Pepsi? You know, for no reason, just because they can.

Phil Fish was riiiiiight.

I dunno, looks like it might be fun.

Well, Bioware is still around and they still have a chance to redeem themselves. I was somewhat disappointed with the last few games but at the very least the worst that could have happened was if they got shuttered altogether.

That's fairly presumptuous considering Oculus now has a wad of cash which puts them at the same competitive level as Sony.
Patrick is right, people are unbelievably naive about this acquisition.

Will Smith? The actor?

Then who else do you agree with? Jerry Lewis?!

I never post comments but wow. I was super excited about the potential but now I just don't know.

Awesome.

For me, it's simply that the level of expectation has shifted. Before OR got the benefit of the doubt I took what they said in the best possible light. Now, my expectation is that they will be terrible. They can still prove me wrong, but I think public opinion will be skeptical.

I can totally see why Facebook would buy OVR. I think of it in the same way that I think of Google Glass, another device that if they can integrate into your life as well as your PHONE (you know that thing you hardly ever use?) then that's more ad space, more time social media is in your day to day life, more time connecting with people and ultimately more time spent using your product.

I don't think I'll ever be into this everyday virtual reality craze. I'll try it in like 40 years when the glasses I already have to wear just to see, come with the technology built in.

Oh thank god! It was just an April fools gag.

On "paper" sure. But it doesn't pass the hearts-and-minds test of what actually seems to be happening by people who are invested. Most website services and software agreements have a clickwrap that says some combination of "we're not liable, and you can't sue us." This neither stops lawsuits from being brought, or being won. And where laws differ, the agreements become irrelevant.

Eventually, Kickstarter may be the one who has to change their facts to match reality.
