HTC could be getting out of the VR business

HTC, makers of the Vive VR headset, might be getting out of the VR business according to a report from Bloomberg. After a poor 2016, where it posted losses of $513 million for the full fiscal year, the company have acquired a strategic adviser, resulting in a number of possible outcomes, including selling the Vive side of the business.
The Vive has carved a good install base despite facing the better known Oculus Rift and, in case of a potential sale, there should be a few companies interested in them. Let's hope that the consumers aren't affected by this situation.

Really sucks, hopefully they can find a buyer otherwise the customers that brought their product is shit out of luck in terms of future support ...

If my memory serves me right, the Vive has sold better than the Rift despite being more expensive, so it's the nº 1 VR helmet in the PC (gaming) market.
Surely that will make it a very compelling purchase for many companies trying to enter the VR business.
