If Michael Abrash is happy, then John Carmack is happy. If those two are happy, HN should be happy. Maybe this Facebook thing won't be so bad after all.

  It's almost like people need to give decisions some time in order to actually see the results instead of jumping to the conclusion that it'll be a failure.

    most of the response wasn't concluding failure but fearing the future. i think many people think VR is too important a technology ("The Final Platform") to be in the hands of a single corporate interest. we'll see i guess if that fear is turns out to have been well placed.

  One of the things that made me upset about the initial announcement about Facebook acquiring Oculus was that I wasn't exactly sure if it was one of those "almost hostile takeover" where the main share holders want to cash out and don't care if the company is going to hell. Knowing that the people inside the company who are going to build the technology not only agree with the changes but welcome them with open arms is reassuring.

    Facebook would have been pretty stupid to buy Oculus without the entire core team consenting to be acquired.
