The backlash is a bit silly, though I also find the acquisition surprising. I suspect that companies with any sort of capital investment in a rift-based-game will continue development.
That being said, Oculus owned by Facebook is a different sort of animal than independent Oculus. Previously, they had to sell the public on a $2-300 VR gaming headset or die. Now they have a lot more wiggle room. Personally, I feel more comfortable working with companies that have as much skin as I do in the game. I understand why the shift would unsettle people.
- joeevans 13y agoYay! Now I can have a unit for $70... so long as I finally sign up to Facebook to be able to use it! Uh. I think I'd rather pay $1000 than do that.
- joesb 13y agoI would rather pay $70 and signin with Facebook than paying $1000.
- PavlovsCat 13y agoThat just shifts $930 to hidden costs. Someone pays either way.
- joesb 13y agoDoesn't matter, it's not my money that is paid.
- letstryagain 13y agoYou still pay, just not with dollars.
- CmonDev 13y ago$70, blue colour only with white trim, have to sign-in to Facebook to use, programmable only using Hack language, shows targeted ads in peripheral vision area.
