This is upsetting because it means Facebook is building the software platform for the Oculus, not enthusiast developers or hundreds of independent startups. This has economic impact, and it's personally disappointing for anybody who gets excited about building VRUI.
Or, yeah, angst.
- robobro 13y agoFacebook's just buying the Oculus. People will clone it.

- stonemetal 13y agoFacebook is building the software platform for the Oculus The core services sure but why wouldn't it be like FB in general(full of third party apps and games)?
- ENGNR 13y agoAnd how many developers have found success dealing with the FB APIs and platform? There's a reason people only integrate with FB to try and take traffic, and even then they become the customer paying for ads. It's not worth your time.
