Did the kickstarters get some juice when Facebook bought Oculus? Or just a big thank you?

I got a retail kit as well as the DK1, which was nice.

I did feel shafted by Palmer when he took both my and zucks money, but looking back now, it was buying a devkit not equity.

Obviously you were not buying equity but at the same time you were funding the actual creation of a new product, taking a part of the role of an investor. If you do a successful exit I think it would be nice to at least refund the money obtained by the kickstarters. But probably I'm just naïve.
