Facebook Acquires Oculus, Oculus Rift Minecraft Cancelled [Mar 25, 2014, 7:28 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Facebook has acquired Oculus, paying a reported $2 billion for the virtual
reality startup, which
Forbes says is $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook
stock, and the deal includes another potential $300 in incentives. "Mobile is
the platform of today, and now we’re also getting ready for the platforms of
tomorrow," Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. "Oculus has the
chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play
and communicate." There's some immediate fallout from this as
Markus "notch"
Persson tweets (thanks nin via
Joystiq) that this has ended the possibility of an Oculus version of Minecraft:
"We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus. I just
cancelled that deal. Facebook creeps me out."
