Yes what happen to that?
Kickstarter is pretty damn clear that your "donation" doesn't entitle you to a share or any interest in the company or its product. The people who gave $300 already got their dev kits. That's the end of the relationship.

Save us Morpheus.
I still don't see why that makes it a win for Sony.
Google panics... buys Valve tomorrow
From what Palmer said, Oculus will become even better, they now have the clout to set the standard for the future of VR gaming.
This isn't a good thing for Sony, they do not have the clout to back Morpheous the way Facebook will.

Because if FB fuck up Oculus in anyway (changing direction away from gaming, cheaper parts, rushing development etc) then that would make Oculus the lesser product and make people look towards alternatives, like Sony's Morpheus, which from what people have said is about on par with current Crystal Cove occulus.
I'd say Oculus is safe for the next year at least. FB knows they can't scare away the passionate people pushing the development before they have a successful product, or else they'll have wasted $2bn.I don't care what the head of Ovulus says or the head of Facebook. Of course they will say they won't change direction and just be better at doing what they are doing now. They all say that whether they change or don't.
At this point we will have to wait and see what happens. See what changes occur to the product and the company itself. Whether they will go for cheaper materials and less accuracy in spacial tracking to maximise profits for daddy Zucks or whether he really does want the best of the best in VR gaming and is willing to spend to make that happen.
Will also need to see if anyone jumps ship after this and goes to Sony or Valve to play about with their VR things.
We'll just have to wait now but it's always good to expect the worst in situations like this so you won't end up disappointed if a change in direction occurs.
The question is what exactly will be this "future" you speak of. Because I don't trust Facebook for fucking shit.From what Palmer said, Oculus will become even better, they now have the clout to set the standard for the future of VR gaming.

With this type of logic they must think WhatsApp is even more the future than OR.
Nintendo saw this coming and have leapfrogged towards NON wearable tech, guys. Wearable tech is so 20th Century...
God.. the freak outs are so dumb. Oculus just got a boat-load of cash handed to them to make VR get better and at a faster rate. Give over with pointless meltdowns. Give over I say!
And you think the average joe has enough money for a PC strong enough to run the Rift at +60 fps as is?
Man. If this was "Apple buys Oculus" it would be such great news.
The devil is alive I can feel him breathing.
so I get to choose between a giant megacorporation knee deep in nefarious exploitative practices to bring me a full fat VR experience and a second giant megacorporation knee deep in debt whose VR solution will anchor me to their underpowered proprietary crap box.
AAAAAHH! AAAAHH! AAAAAA
