It's happened. The apocalypse is here..

Oculus Rift has been bought by, of all people, Facebook..

Zuckerberg has made a statement (read it all here courtesy of Kotaku) saying how they will try to accelerate it's development of VR gaming. However he went on to say how they want to use it for other missions, such as 'enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face'

Anyone else just felt their hopes of Oculus Rift VR come crashing down to rock bottom?

Markus 'Notch' Persson has:

'We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus. I just cancelled that deal. Facebook creeps me out.'

Thank god for Sony's Project Morpheus announcement..
