Google wouldn't be any better, and I might argue worse. They are more likely than not to just shut it down. Microsoft or Apple would be better though IMO. Alternately Valve might have been nice.

Valve would have been ideal in terms of 'companies who have lots of money and not a lot of people to justify their spending to', but I imagine that $2Bn is outside their price range. Last I heard they were working on their own VR though.

It would be a big step, but I doubt they couldn't afford it. They make more money per employee than Apple does.

how does that number mean anything when comparing a few hundred to tens of thousands?
