His character? Did you read the post? The author raises some interesting points about the competitiveness of Oculus' latest development hardware in the face of Sony's recent Morpheus product announcement. You have to admit the timing is suspicious.
- gwern 13y agoNo, he doesn't make any interesting points at all. He says the latest devkit was a disaster. (Was it?) He says that the sale proves that Oculus has failed utterly and can't compete with Morpheus and they failed to solve the motion problem etc etc. (Wow, we're really confident we know everything about something which just got some press and few people have actually tried, and apparently we can't think of any reason the Oculus shareholders might accept a few billion bucks, no, it must be that they are failing hard and are rats scampering off a sinking ship, we've thought of and carefully dismissed all other possibilities...)
- leoc 13y agoAs long as Sony's VR headsets are tied to the PS4 they're probably going to have difficulty competing directly against the consumer Rift. If the example of Facebook and WhatsApp is anything to go by, it seems more likely that Oculus said, "sorry, we're not interested in being acquired ... wait, how much money?"
