I almost wet myself laughing when she started talking about Surgeon Simulator as though it was a learning tool...

I'll let you decide if this is good news or bad.

Prepare to have a mandatory Facebook page on your HUD to see what your friends currently want to bore you stiff telling you about

Zuckerberg obviously thinks otherwise

FUD.
From Palmer Lucky - "Facebook is making a long term bet on VR, not a short term run on profit. We have more freedom to do what we want now that our investment partners are out of the picture."
"I guarantee that you won't need to log into your Facebook account every time you wanna use the Oculus Rift."
"You will not need a Facebook account to use or develop for the Rift."
Oh sorry, I read the comment "Realistically, it just 'aint going to happen" as meaning the purchase of OC by Facebook. Was it instead aimed at my sarcastic jibe of a Facebook page in ED's HUD? That was me just being sarcastic. ie: I wasn't being serious
That said, would it be outlandish to suggest an option to fire screenshots straight into your Facebook page? At the end of the day they want more hits/impressions to Facebook. They're not buying OR out of good will.

I took it you meant that a FB account was going to be mandatory. No sarcasm intended.
Worth pointing out that there's already a raging thread about the Oculus/FB thing, and others have already been closed.
Might be a good idea to carry on with this particular subject over there.

Well I guess that Oculus just want the best.. They can out to people.. After all they want to do it right..
What I say well it might not be that big a deal.. As long as we have the best with this sim am a happy man...
Am so glad FD have built this gave around the oculus
What a difference that makes... Having the game built with that alongside..
Instead of being added in later on down the line..
Well done FD.. Love it just now with the Dev1 Kit
Ordered the Dev2 for now until release
I think the Oculus guys just cashed in, and why not ... the O.R. is no longer their problem (if it was even one in the first place) .. Facebook have control now, What this means for the O.R. who knows, but the developers of the O.R. are now sitting pretty, and probably don't care about the product anymore ... would you with a good few mil in the bank?
You clearly haven't been following the development of the Rift then. Passion is pretty much what's been fuelling them the whole way and they just hired another big name in the field... so, far from wiping their butts with hundred dollar bills I imagine they're working as hard as ever.
It IS still their concern as I believe there are performance related payments. ie: If the OC doesn't deliver, Facebook won't pay up some of the $$$$$
You are absolutely right, I haven't been following the development as closely as I should, But I will just say that I have an Immense passion for my Audio engineering, music production .. live music in general, it has been my life's work .. I cannot express how much my work means to me, but if you want to buy it for $2 billion ... I can find something else to do, another project maybe ... something even more amazing .. I now have a ton of money to do what I please ... would it be continuing on the equipment/software I have been working on ... Hell no! ... I'm building myself a studio ... in wherever I like ... maybe an island ...
Maybe that's just me .... but I doubt it..

If that is the case, then I stand corrected ... they would be ever more passionate about the product .. but if it isn't my point stands.
Edit* even though, even a quarter of that cash would be life changing and allow you to do whatever you wanted. Passion has nothing to do with this ... the Developers of the O.R. were making it to get paid.. they have .. well done to them.
