Americans love to throw the word "billions" and "millions" around. All those numbers are as fake as the reports CIA puts out. In reality, most of American cities look like getto warzones.

Nobody gave anyone $2B for any shitty worthless VR companies - they just use that number for ADVERTISING

You realize that there's a reason people call them "The One Percent", right? Any one of them (especially a company like Facebook) most definitely can afford 2B. It's chump change for them.

Now, we could get in to an argument about the intrinsic value of money— fractional lending, Jewish owned central banks, etc. But do billionaires really exist? Duh, obviously. Do they spend shitloads of money buying more assets to further their wealth? I'll let you answer that one.

Most likely their was a wording in the buyout from Facebook that said "we buy this under the statement that oculus owns all rights to any thing related to their stuff" though translated into lawyer so add 1/2 a page of big words. So yes it will all fall back to carmack and zenimax leaving facebook alone. Or facebook turns around and eliminates everything Carmack owns for payment after breach of contract.

What happned with the Total Recall lawsuit against Oculus and Palmer? It's separate from Zenimax. http://www.hawaiiweblog.com/2015/05/23/isle-firm-accuses-oculus-of-stealing-vr-tech

I bet it's true. Cuckerberg has always been good at stealing ideas. After all, what is Facebook but a ripoff of MySpace that makes all the choices for you?

Oculus isn't even the best in VR. I've tried it. PSVR is more comfortable and overall more affordable, and even if you wanna say "PC is better for performance" then I'd say you're better off with the HTC Vive.

I thought about making a social network to compete with FB. I was gonna make three social networks, actually. But now I'm making a game, and it won't support Oculus, that's for damn sure.

I thought I heard somewhere that the Rift was a copy of one of the older Vive prototypes... Anybody else hear something like that?

Also: Zanimax reminds me of Nintendo due to the frequency of copyright suits they have been threatening. First this, then DoomRL, now this again.

This is all off the top of my head and may not be entirely accurate, but as I recall it, the original Rift was basically just a head mount for a smartphone screen, with some software to pre-warp the image so it looked right when viewed through fisheye lenses. Carmack saw the potential of the Rift and jumped on board around the time of the kickstarter. At this point, he tried to get Zenimax to invest in Oculus and they said "lol no". Soon afterwards Carmack brought in his old buddy Abrash, who was at Valve at the time. Oculus and Valve then started a joint project at to develop VR tech, using Valve's software and Oculus' hardware, because when Carmack and Abrash want to start a joint project you damn well better pay attention.

This continued up to the point where Oculus sold out to Facebook. Oculus then basically took all of the jointly created IP and locked Valve out of their hardware, at which point thusly quoth Valve, "Fuck you too, Oculus." Valve then started looking for another hardware partner, and since Samsung was already in bed with Oculus they ended up giving HTC a big leg up to create the Vive.

Now Zenimax has realised that they made a colossal gaffe way back at the start when they turned down Oculus, and they feel like they're owed something because they're knob heads. So they're making some shit up about Carmack stealing their supar sekrit HMD and that they really invented the Rift.
