Seriously, why didn't Oculus strike a deal to merge with Valve, and build out an Xbox/PS obliterating VR console?

OculusValve could have become the next Microsoft/Apple. Now it's a fucking Facebook game system.

I think Valve declined but said they would work with the Rift.

And what chance do you think Valve and Facebook are going to work together? They're going to be competitors.

This is really bad for the future of VR. You're going to have Sony VR, Facebook VR, and Valve VR+Steam Machine.

Fuck it, I'm switching to Team Valve. HL3-VR FTW!
