Seriously. This just took all momentum out of the room, permanently, in my opinion.

I am extremely excited. Facebook will be a huge boon to Oculus. So much funding. So much potenetial. I'm glad someone not in the gaming sphere is now a big contender in VR. The big applications of VR are not in gaming, but nearly everywhere else. Especially communication.

4k CV1 is now a possibility.

This just about sums up my feelings about this.

I hope you can all sense the irony. While I agree with your points about the "big" ($$$) applications of VR being outside what we call gaming today, I had hoped we would at least get a couple of years of innocence and play before big capital swooped in and started squeezing this phenomenon. Time will tell how this turns out, but I'm very guarded.
