I understand what Facebook wants (basically Playstation home VR), but what i dont understand is that i thought Occulus Rift was croud funded. Is it? Cause if it is i think the model just took a blunt force to the face.
Cant shake off the feeling that someone sold out to the highest bidder.

Hey crowd-funding helped make it into a  something worth 2 billion to someone, so I don't think the model took too big of a hit.

I'm sure the sellet didnt have any problems. The backers of their kickstarter might have though, and they might very well not fund anything else now. Its definitly a shocking precedent that is beeing built here.
