I [and im sure some of You] am waiting for Rift.
I would like to ask about Your feelings about this "partnership"?

do You believe we as a gamers will profit on this?
do You believe the 300$ price will hold?
do You believe that we need "second life 2.0" ?

these are just sample questions. real question is "how do you feel about company that was crowd funded, so was created by people who believed in it, sells it self to a corporation that has nothing to do with anything Oculus Rift was meant to be?"

Well, as much as I hate online social networking garbage like Facebook, as long as Oculus doesn't lose sight of what they were working on: an affordable, high performance VR headset for the masses, then more power to them.

Now if they pull some kind of crap like forcing the user to have a Facebook account in order for the rift to work, or force the user to use Facebook for support issues, then they can all go suck a big vainy ****.

My kneejerk action was of course NOOOOOOOOOOOOO but to think about it, I think Facebook guys shouldn't be THAT stupid to strap Facebook brand on an Oculus Rift so soon. Facebook needs something in the hardware field, and the more early investment put into the supply chain, the better - and possibly cheaper - the production may be.
