I hate facebook; Closed my account ..what?.. three years ago now, but I can't help but think this is just an engineer/nerd-led fantasy push by an entity that can get away with it.
That much money and that much access to smarts and networks can't help but quickly come up with something interesting.. and the competition that will soon ensue can only foster ever-quicker evolution of the eco-system.
This is the threshold moment — tech's pretty much all in place — and I sorely want to believe a tech angel's just swept in and as-near-as-can-guaranteed this shit's going to happen.
Fuck ten years - this is going to be huge in less than five.

- I think there's even room for a 3rd player eventually, specially if Facebook scares game developers awayernexbcn
- I bet Valve will be the 3rd:

I think it's already inevitable with Sony and others investing in similar technology (Sony reportedly has release date of early 2015 for their VR headset). In fact Oculus might have felt they didn't stand a chance unless they partnered with a big company.
- Oculus wanted 2015 as well, it will be easier now hopefullyernexbcn

I guess everyone has their price. Now they are billionaires without having even shipped a consumer product.

@reanimate wow, dick move by ZeniMax, but I guess they are pissed since a lot of guys from id quit and followed Carmack to Oculus.

Fuck that. What is going on???? Every single startup with a good idea just gets gobbled up by these obnoxious companies.
