I wouldn't do business with Facebook either to be honest.

Reminds me of all the minecraft clones for the 360. And there were a fucking lot of them.

I don't like Facebook, don't like that they bought Oculus, but that's a lame reason to cancel it.

There is a serious perception problem with facebook... Notch isn't likely to be the only person to cancel a project over this.
"Executive decision making"?
It's Notch, he's one super rich guy just doing whatever he wants.

I could see this happening. The game doesn't require much power
I agree. I predict a lot of stealth cancellations.
He's just being Notch.

I'd love to know the reason for these "i wouldnt deal with facebook either" comments actually is.
They seem like a well run company with the money to improve products.

Nobody trusts them. Everybody hates using Facebook but many of us feel forced into having an account there due to family and such and that just makes the dislike deepen. It's the same kind of hate that is usually reserved for AT&T and the Cable company.

Good. Facebook has no right running a virtual reality product for gaming.
"log into your Facebook account to download the necessary files"
"candy crush now in VR"
"unfortunately Facebook does not feel it's necessary to invest into triple A gaming VR. However, for only 30 coins you can play our new Facebook roller coaster game"

The largest mistake many, many business-minded people make is to assume that everyone thinks as coldly rational as they do.
I would assume it's based more on moral and ethical grounds, with Facebook being so determined to straight up remove the word "privacy" from the Dictionary.

This is stupid.
I know hes punk rock indie.
But there is no other reason for him to say this than to contribute negativity to the conversation. He doesn't have anything to say. He was "in talks" to maybe bring a version of his game to this platform. And now he's publicly saying he's creeped out because Facebook also happens to run Facebook.com. Childish. He didn't have a deal, he didn't get slighted, there was no solidarity Occulus somehow betrayed. This is just someone wanting to be a part of the conversation for the sake of it. He should be ridiculed for treating his audience to such pig-headedness.

Who gives a fuck? He doesn't have shareholders to answer to, he's doing what he wants with his company. And one of the things he wants is to not do business with Facebook.

And to think that mere hours ago the world was an exponentially better place.
Notch already had money. There is more to just "they know how to make money" when it comes to decisions you make.

Pretty much this.

It can't be said any better than this.
Very true...
Notch annoys me. Official support for the Rift on Minecraft would have been awesome...

Lmao what does Candy Crush have to do with Facebook?
The outright hatred facebook gets on gaming sites is hilarious.
And their history of shitty censorship.

Meh, lose some, win some. They might lose a couple of deals for now, but how many new projects are going to come out of this? Facebook giving VR a lot of exposure is a very good thing, imo.
