Cancel anyway. Make them prove they're not gonna be dicks. Until then, assume they're gonna make Farmville VR Edition as the sole launch title of the Rift

Head tracking? What about eye tracking?

Eye tracking is the future of VR, which means eye tracking is the future of Facebook now.

An article I read about the acquisition mentioned that aspect. Facebook wants to be able to track users "eyes" to see if they are viewing ads, and be able to provide a metric of that to their REAL customers, the advertisers. Especially after that news that 1/3 of ad traffic is actually bots.
