G+_George Kozi Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Mike Elgan Is this true? And what the hell does facebook want with the Oculus? Are they entering the games arena? Grrrr... I've been looking forward to the Oculus... now its all dirtied up.

G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Why? They had 75 million from investors. I guess having Sony & Microsoft getting into VR u need deeper pockets. As long as Fb leave them autonomous I'm ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm not on facebook. But now that they own it, I bet you will have to be on in if you want to game with the Oculus. Frack that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Not for gaming but they want to develope experiences in FB with the rift. This open the door for sony & Microsoft IMHO. If they delivered a good VR headset I'm there, no way I'm plugging into FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I managed to stay away from the contagion until now, and Oculus isn't worth the compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
