So, Facebook bought out Oculus VR, the company responsible for making the infamous Oculus Rift.

It's really quite a shame. I wanted one of these for my birthday. But I can't trust Facebook on where there going with this. OR was meant for PC GAMING, not some social media website...

EDIT! Even Notch doesn't want anything to do with Oculus from now on. Disappointing.

I don't think you get the point here. I'm upset because I don't know what kind of nightmare Facebook's going to turn the Rift -maybe even the entire VR industry itself- into.

it isn't just for social media now, there just trying to add more features/compatibility to it

but then again half of the video game companies ever might say "no" and stop supporting it like notch.
