Delete Facebook and You'll Lose All Oculus Games for Good
Let's be real: they don't care about VR per se. They care about it only insofar as it gets you to use a Facebook account.This is what I see as the biggest overlooked consequence of web advertising--it's become so lucrative, that there is very little reason to invest in real/hard problems. All of the profits (and thus jobs, investment) is in how to tune the ad algorithm.Making hardware is hard and risky. Selling hardware is hard. Writing games is hard. If you're lucky, a user buys 2-3 games per year, Oculus takes a royalty and earns $15-$30.Which is probably about the ballpark amount they earn just from each Facebook user anyway.
