Facebook bought Oculus VR and now owns the Oculus Rift. For two billion dollars.

Those fucking * fuckers.

I wanted a VR thing for games. I payed them a lot for this feature. And before it's on the market Facebook fucking buys them. God fucking dammit. Better VR my ass, this is a punch in the face unlike anything other. Greedy bastards.

I am not looking forward to virtual reality advertising, we all know that was their entire purpose. Oh, and now they'll be able to tell where you are looking and what you are doing, Facebook tends to do that.

Anybody here got a nuclear missile I can shove up Mark Zuckerberg's ass? Failing that an extra pointy stick.

Because I'm pretty much laughing at your response, ACH.
Also it's called 'pansexual'.
And I have a boyfriend.
You can go home and do owl stuff now.

It started as a simple quote, but when you didn't get it, it became troll. Not my fault you don't know it.

Regardless, I could never use Occulus, so this matters little to me.
