I really don't agree with you on such things as desire for Oculus to fail even if I am against it's acquisition by Facebook and I do not agree with your dismissal of the role it could play in enhancing gaming and movies for example in the long run in which I could imagine some truly great things from it but I will…

They made or will make $400million between them I think and the rest was Facebook shares which ironically are now worth less than when acquisition began. I feel to begin with given the majority of the value going forward from the deal is reliant on the success of Facebook and not Oculus that it is dubious as they now…

No one seems to be agreeing on the stock value drop for Facebook after this news of the aquisition, some say at the close of trading it was down 6% and others 7%, yourself now saying it was 5%...

Did people really think Apple or Facebook would be the next big thing back when they first was in development? Just because at the time of development some do not believe the next big thing is the next big thing does not mean it would not have become such.

Fact, MZ said in his own words he is looking in future to turn the Oculus into an additional avenue for increasing Facebook's advertising infrastructure. While he did not say how he was planning to do so, when it's new owner MZ/Facebook says they want to use it for advertising and it's former owner says it won't then…

MZ himself said he wants to integrate advertising into the Oculus product, not advertising for it, advertising in it. MZ has also said in the past he has no respect for privacy and holds it in contempt because it is an obsticle he views in the way of is future idealistic 'connected world'.

There is nothing irrational about it. The only ones who might see it as irrational have no clue as to the business policies and practices of both Facebook and it's owner which have been shown time and time again to be dubious at best and disgusting at worst. This includes MZ stating he wishes to both implement…

Oh, I did not realize it was the parody account. To be fair the parody account name is very close to the originals in combination with the image but my bad for not noticing.

He tweeted he is still coding for it. I believe he is trying to avoid the backlash this is causing but I would be very surprised if he was happy with this news even if he stand to make some money directly from the acquisition or not, I am not sure if he is.

They did not require Facebook for creating competition. With Sony jumping on the bandwagon, Valve and other big names in the games industry pushing hard support for VR...it would only have been a matter of time before Microsoft also jumped on board to compete with the PS4 and PC variations. Some large names in the…

I'm not angry, I am depressed over this turn of events.

Given the article references the future of gaming and the future of gaming was in many peoples minds related firstly to the VR taking off and improving gaming then yes, you should expect to see it pop up a lot in topics relating to things that are partially relevant and retrospective about such changes in the industry…

With the impending death of the Oculus, I hope it is replaced by someone developing Holodecks.

Facebook is run in an open way that's aligned with Oculus' culture. Over the last decade, Mark and Facebook have been champions of open software and hardware, pushing the envelope of innovation for the entire tech industry.

The investment is good but this is still very bad news I feel. Facebook is well known for nickle and diming at every turn on everything they do, they are well known for pushing advertising in a big way on their products and social gaming that is not just gaming with them but screwing you over every chance they can…

Your actions however speak differently to your follow up words. Console gamer is condescending towards PC gamers, PC gamer takes the bait and is condescending towards console gamers, you in reply are condescending towards PC gamer. Surely if your words had merit you would of taken action against the first to be…

What I see more often elsewhere appears to be different to you but then maybe it's because I am predominantly these days a PC gamer so visit PC centric sites and articles more so then visiting any console ones where I see console gamers tend to come in leave the snide comments more so than the PC gamers.

Like most times on here the PC gamer is merely being condescending towards a console gamer who was first condescending towards the PC gamers platform and baiting PC gamers. As much as PC gamers like to tout how good their platform is, most of the snide remarks towards consoles gamers I see these days are only in…

I consider this a good thing, the more uses for the technology being taken up by multiple markets the higher the chance of long term success. While I would only use it for games and potential for the movie industry I wouldn't hate others using it for other things.

The future of cosplay on Kotaku. With so much Photoshopped these days by cosplayer's replacing costume creation talent and natural resemblance to their target character with who is the best at using Photoshop, the next evolution is obvious...replacing their entire real selves with different better looking…
