Not sure how important this is. Is there a doubt in anyone's mind that FB got Oculus for John Carmack ?

- metalliqaz 8y agoI don't believe that at all. If Facebook wants a rockstar dev, they can offer that one person a lot less money than it would cost to buy a company. Facebook bought Oculus because they wanted to expand into the VR space. I imagine it had nothing to do with games, but rather the possibility of a future application platform. In my mind, VR is not the future, but rather AR will be. In that case, Facebook wants to be the provider of ads and metadata that is laid over other people's faces and brick-and-mortar storefronts while people walk around wearing thin AR glasses.
