Incredibly immature.

Disappointed in Notch. I guess he's just a game designer at the end of the day, not an activist, so I guess meh.

Oculus is hardware, hopefully Facebooks billions will bring forward adoption, reduce hardware dev times and create some crappy software that people can chose not to use.

How this can been seen as a bad thing, boggles my mind.

I want VR decades ago. At least Facebooks billions might make the current timeline somewhat bearable.



"I want VR decades ago" is not what I would call a mature response. I'd hardly call Notch immature, he has ethical issues with Facebook and it doesn't fit his worldview. Rejecting any collaboration is the most mature way forward.


I experienced VR decades ago in an SGI cave, circa 1995.

Which is about the same time PC graphics were picking up, and games like Descent came into existence.

So, like GP, I agree that widespread VR has been overdue for a long time.

What does maturity even mean in a capitalist system? All hail the philosopher entrepreneur? Give me a break.
