Facebook Buying Oculus VR For $2 Billion 535

Several readers sent word that Facebook will acquire Oculus VR for $2 billion. Mark Zuckerberg says the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset is the beginning of something big: "This is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures." The obvious question is: why Facebook would buy a company focused on VR gaming? The Oculus team says, "But when you consider it more carefully, we're culturally aligned with a focus on innovating and hiring the best and brightest; we believe communication drives new platforms; we want to contribute to a more open, connected world; and we both see virtual reality as the next step. ... It opens doors to new opportunities and partnerships, reduces risk on the manufacturing and work capital side, allows us to publish more made-for-VR content, and lets us focus on what we do best: solving hard engineering challenges and delivering the future of VR." Put more simply: money and connections.

      Palmer Luckey explains what this means [reddit.com] on Reddit.

      A few samples:

      "I guarantee that you won't need to log into your Facebook account every time you wanna use the Oculus Rift."

      "It it enough to bring a consumer product to market, but not the consumer product we really wish we could ship. This deal is going to immediately accelerate a lot of plans that were languishing on our wishlist, and the resulting hardware will be better AND cheaper. We have the resources to create custom hardware now, not just rely on the scraps of the mobile phone industry. There is a lot of good news on the way that is not yet public, so believe me, things will become a lot more clear over time."

      "Sure, we could have made more money down the road, but this deal was not about making the most money. It was about doing the best thing for the long term future of virtual reality.
      This lets us make CV1 everything we want it to be, which is going to drive much larger sales and adoption."

      "I won't change, and any change at Oculus will be for the better. We have even more freedom than we had under our investment partners because Facebook is making a long term play on the success of VR, not short-term returns.
      A lot of people are upset, and I get that. If you feel the same way a year from now, I would be very surprised."

        Much more likely facebook management want to get into virtual reality social gaming, along the lines of "The Sims" and try to exclude other companies from joining. The big catch of virtual reality social gaming, is your going to have to be pretty much at the bottom end of the social scale to lock yourself in that world via a virtual reality headset and, facebook will charge you a pretty penny virtual elements (virtual social standing driven by peer pressure being the leverage) and if you can already afford

      • If Luckey and Zuck say that this changes nothing and that they aim to just sell the hardware to us without any FB strings attached, I believe them... now. I also believe that very soon after launch, there will be a boardroom meeting at FB to discuss ways to create more synergy between the Occulus and FBs core business, which is 1) suckering more people into their service, 2) retaining those people as active members, 3) mining any and all data from those customers, 4) selling that data to interested 3rd part

          Facebook is "buying out" - that is, buying to gain access to people who are not, and may never be part of the core business. WhatsApp users are a great example of that, since WhatsApp does zero session or even identity tracking kinds of things.

      Yeah, I'd be pretty damn pissed.

      I mean I have no problem when a product flops, assuming the person creating the kickstarter didn't know it would flop. If they make a legitimate effort with the money they get, and they didn't miss-represent themselves, then that's fair in my opinion.

      But this is basically them killing off what was a successful project. Maybe it's a reaction to the recent Sony announcement, but even if they thought they were about to lose, to me they still had a duty to the, inappropriately termed I guess, investors.

      This almost makes me wonder if kickstarter needs to add some kind of protection against this kinda thing.

        some kind of protection against this kinda thing.

        People who did the Kickstarter got their rewards. They got their dev kits. The kits worked. They arrived a little late. That is all that was ever promised. If I purchase something off EBay I don't get upset if the seller gets purchased by Facebook. Oculus isn't even a service. Its not like Facebook is buying users like they when they purchased Instagram.

        • by Anrego ( 830717 ) * on Tuesday March 25, 2014 @05:52PM (#46578847)

          In my view (and I understand this isn't universal), when you buy into a kickstarter it's because you want to see something happen. It's like investing, but instead of expecting money out of it, you expect a thing to become available which otherwise wouldn't (and which you then might have to pay additional money to get). It would be like donating to PBS, receiving your mug, then finding out they'd sold PBS to TLC and were buying an island somewhere.

          For those that view buying into a kickstarter as a gamble against getting the promised reward (which I accept as a valid view), then I agree with this argument. Oculus delivered the dev kit, and as someone who owns one, it's what was promised, with the added bonus that it caught on and there is actual software for it.

      • What is sad is that current SEC regulation and other securities rules make it illegal for companies to offer shares or actual ownership in a company through something like Kickstarter. I'll admit there is potential for fraud to milk piles of money from people with not much disposable income, but it does get to absurd levels with this too.

        It really seems stupid that you need to be a millionaire in order to simply qualify to spend $10k (or even $1k) of your own money into some random company that you think may make a better mousetrap. Yet at the same time you can throw away piles of money into stupid penny stocks or worse buying a used automobile or a "membership" in a multi-level marketing scheme.

        Kickstarter does offer some protections from would-be fraudsters as they can require a refund of any money received through Kickstarter if for some reason they haven't honored their promises.. especially if rewards were never delivered. Unfortunately all you can get back is the money you paid. Somehow I don't think Occulus is going to care and might just prefer giving refunds for those who are pissed.

        • by slew ( 2918 ) on Wednesday March 26, 2014 @02:06AM (#46581851)

          AFAIK, SEC regulation do not strictly prevent companies from selling unregistered shares to unaccredited investors.
          Rules 505 and 506 allows a company to sell unregistered shares to up to 35 unaccredited investors (and an unlimited number of accredited investors). This limit of 35 unaccredited investors is the thing that kickstarter bumps up against.

          However, there is another way to do this. It is actually possible to start a "closed-end" registered investment company (like a mutual fund company) that can invest in startup companies as an accredited investor. This investment company could accept money from unaccredited investors and this money can be invested in some startup companies.

          Sadly, the track record of such companies is pretty poor.

          For a recent example, consider GSV [nytimes.com] which was able to use this strategy to allow unaccredited investors to put money into Facebook, Groupon, and Zynga before they went public. The problem is that the liquid value of closed-end fund, is not the value of the underlying securities, but the resale value of your share in the investment company. This is because in a closed end fund, you have to sell your share in the investment company to someone else (the fund won't buy it back from you). In the GSV case, the share value of GSV was driven up by the promise of getting in on a pre-ipo Facebook investment, but it then crashed when the Facebook ipo didn't perform as well as expected.

    • FUD, Trollish Coward! Oculus's kickstarter execution was flawless. The DK1 took a little bit of time, but did happen, and is responsible for the resurgence of VR as an industry.

      • Their hardware is known to do what it is advertised to do, be reasonably well built, and not have a bunch of BS tie-ins. If you buy a MS keyboard or mouse, well that's what you get. You don't have to install "Bing, for your Mouse!" or some shit like that to make it work. You plug it in to the computer, it does its thing. It isn't prevented from working under Linux or anything like that. I know plenty of Linux types that do not care for MS software, but like their hardware.

That is why they would make a great platform. When large companies come in, they have larger strategies into which to fit everything. They do *many* things, and ends up doing many of them worse for that single reason. Big choices gets affected by strategy for other things, and the quality gets watered down.

      Knutsi- I agree with all your points, but wanted to extend your comment a bit.

      Probably that last line is the most significant motivator for both parties--

      For Oculus, Sony was raising a threat. Also, supply of displays from Samsung might prove to be an unfeasible constraint. Especially if Samsung decides to create their own VR googles. With FaceBook money, they can build their own OLED factory if need be.

      For FaceBook, they have to really worry that a technology on the horizon might take their hundreds of millions of eyeballs off FaceBook html and point them in a different direction- just like FaceBook took eyes away from network television. They just bought what might have been a FaceBook killer in the future. Maybe they aren't planning to weld Oculus rift onto the FaceBook homepage. Maybe they'll let it crush facebook, but they won't care because they'll be riding on top of the beast that stomped it to death.

      Actually, let me amend my previous post, on second thought I don't think it's really the end-users that are the true targets of this acquisition.

      It's would be the game devs. Imagine a world where all commercial Oculus games are required to be developed in such a way that they have some sort of social-media tie into Facebook. It won't happen at the official public release of course -- that would scare too many people off. I imagine they'll play nice until the Oculus achieves market dominance. Then, Facebook will start to creep into the arrangement, as devs find out they need to jump through more and more hoops to maintain access to the Oculus ecosystem.

      • End users too - with the second developer kit at least the OR involved a positional tracking camera. Now sure, it could (and should) include near-IR band-pass filters to eliminate any potential invasions of privacy, but given Facebook's track record I'm betting they'd just *love* to get direct driver-level control of an unfiltered webcam mounted on N% of their users' computers.

    2). Worse, they have no control over the company, so Facebook now gets to lock down the use of the technology to only big developers that can afford to license it rather than being open to hobbyists the way many of the backers were not doubt had hoped.
    3). Oh, and a "next generation" version that is completely incompatible with the current one is now doubt on the way. Since your old generation version won't be available anymore, good luck getting any developers to support it.

      I am one of the original Oculus Kickstarter backers. I have received my Rift development kit without any problem, so I think you are grossly unfair to Oculus as far as the Kickstarter campaign is concerned. The perks were the development kits, not company shares, so there is no reason why I should be getting a cut of those 2 billions.

      Also, honestly, do you really believe the company is operating on the Kickstarter money? You would be naive - there are several large investors there, the Kickstarter money went mainly into the original development kit.

      However, I do wonder what the heck is going to happen now. They better tread really carefully or they could alienate many of their customers and developers in no time if they try to aggressively push Facebook everywhere (like the payment system - seriously, if one of the stated reasons for getting acquired was to get access to the Facebook's payment system, that's nuts).

        Likewise when Facebook modifies the interface to be completely incompatible with your dev kit, what good is it? Maybe you can make stuff for your own amusement, but you'll never be able to share it with anyone who doesn't also already have their own dev kit.

      I was one of the backers that got an early dev kit.

      As far as I was concerned at the time, the amount I donated got me a dev kit and access to the development kit. Which is exactly what happened, certainly more than you can say for some Kickstarter projects.

      Why would i care if the business was sold for any amount of money? I didn't back it to own part of the business, there was never an expectation of that. It was only ever because I wanted early access to what looked like, and still looks like, the most viable VR headset made to date.

      On "control over the company", devs did have a kind of control in that they could provide feedback to the company, and help uncover problems that would build a better commercial headset.

      As for the "next gen" version, sure it's unlike the current one - but that means a better consumer product in the end, so if you are developing anything for the Oculus instead of just using the dev kit as a toy, why would you have an issue with that? It means an even more viable product in the end will be delivered, which means more customers for whatever you are developing. To someone developing for this the $350 a next-fen dev kit costs is NOTHING compared to resources you put in for development of a new product to run on it.

      I don't know what it means to have Facebook own this. The only short-term thing I can imagine is that the consumer version is closer to market now than it might have been otherwise... since Facebook has not yet destroyed WhatsApp I remain reasonably optimistic that the Oculus will deliver what we were expecting all along with minimal interference from Facebook, and some strong financial backing to take on larger companies like Sony.

Make something really cool first, and worry about the spec after you are sure it's worth it!

    I do think it is finally the right time for this to start happening for real. While a lot of people could envision the possibilities after seeing DOOM or Quake, it is really only now that we have general purpose hardware acceleration that things are actually flexible enough to be used as a creative medium without constantly being conscious of the technical limitations.

    The Metaverse of the Snow Crash world was basically an epic social virtual reality experience. I've always figured Carmack would be involved in making that a reality somehow, and the Oculus Rift certainly seems like it could be a critical part. Facebook actually makes sense from a social perspective as well.

    I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people terrified because of imagined privacy implications, but I'm still fascinated to see where this ride takes us.

    Wow. John Carmack quit his job at iD (Zenimax) [polygon.com] to be the CTO at Occulus Rift and then in less than six months is probably getting a few dozen millions of dollars.

    Talk about knowing where to be at the right time....

    Same with Marc Andreesen and his VC cash infusion of $75 million just a few months ago [wired.com]. Those guys are going to turn that $75 mill into a bunch more through this turn and burn deal. Not so much a 'burn,' but it is a very quick harvesting on their investment.

    And Notch has already cancelled his Oculus Rift deal because Facebook creeps him out.
