I really feel for those 9.5K souls that got suckered into Kickstarting that asshole, just so he can sell his company to even bigger asshole for obscene amount of money. Lesson to be learned there.

Whats the lesson? ....

Palmer Luckey, OR creator, 2012:

“Oculus is going forward in a big way, but a way that still lets me focus on the community first, and not sell out to a large company.”

Palmer Luckey, OR creator, 2014:

“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.”

THAT lesson.

So they retain their freedom, give the community priorty, and there is hope of getting them better and a lower price product at a faster rate..

What would have been the next step for OR? Not being acquired by Facebook, who have a fine record of aquisitions.. Release it on their own for 400 bucks so noone would buy it and die a fast death?
