I don&#x27;t see a distinction between raising kickstarter money and later selling to Facebook vs early access money and later selling to Microsoft.<p>Notch promised Minecraft would eventually be released open source when he was raising early access dollars, and he seems to have completely reneged on it with the sale to Microsoft.<p>Oculus got acquired by Facebook and still afterwards released the complete hardware schematics for DK1, the kickstarter project, for anyone to use on Github.<p>The Facebook acquisition still probably wasn&#x27;t a good thing; they seem to be want to turn what are essentially Monitors+tracking into game consoles with exclusives etc.  You&#x27;ll have a headset from one company and have to buy the equivalent spec headset from another just to get access to all the games.  It&#x27;s going to be like a future where Skyrim 2 were only released for BenQ monitors.  You may already have a monitor with a panel made to the same spec in the same fab, but now you have to have an extra monitor you hook up only occassionaly to play some of your games.<p>They&#x27;ve said they might port their store to other PC headsets, but have made no real commitments.
