This doesn't tell you how big VR might have been if Oculus remained independent, or tied to a less controversial parent company and profit model.

I would have one if it weren't for the fb requirement and this outcome is exactly why I don't.

Are people actually shocked that a company with such a pristine reputation for carrying about their produ..um..Users now wants to jam ads directly into their eyes?

imo the FB requirement wouldn't be there if they didn't subsidize the system by about $300. The subsidy is just as important as the Quest being stand alone and self contained as opposed to requiring a PC.

They would have had at least one more sale (I still want it but not the Facebook part).

Facebook is tied to Facebook and is possibly the most viewed website/app in the world.

Also, Palmer Luckey is a weird libertarian/asshole, so who knows.. FB acquisition might have been a net benefit.
