As long as Facebook owns it, it may as well not be a thing to me. Facebook "saving" VR is a utterly pyrrhic victory. If facebook owns it then it wasn't worth saving.

I’ll happily let them spend the billions in R&D to develop the hardware, sdks, and advertising to the mainstream though. Hopefully they do all the hard work so when a decent company comes in, there’s a lot less to do for a much more developed ecosystem.

Same. I don't trust Zuck with the ecosystem so I'll just sit it out. I might get an Index one day.

I’m at least happy right now that “vote with wallet” thing worked this time. I’m sure they got the message, and I’m sure that VR industry will resume regular programme.

It’s funny that the collective anti-Facebook sentiment is so strong that we managed to starve Oculus of content and possibly burnt through their budget for loss leader.
