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.

Re: Today in 'WTF, Why?'
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.
