Oculus wants to build a billion-person MMO with Facebook
- vannevar 13y agoSure, and Elon Musk wants to sell Teslas to Facebook users. Doritos wants to sell them Cool Ranch. Why didn't Facebook buy Tesla, or Frito-Lay? Because it doesn't make any business sense, and neither does the Oculus acquisition. Facebook bought Oculus because Mark Zuckerberg thought it was cool, and is swimming in cash. Oculus took the money because it was far, far in excess of any valuation they might attain in the foreseeable future. The 'vision' presented in the article is just a thin rationalization.
