&gt; <i>How is it fair for Notch to be upset at Oculus being bought by Facebook when he sold his company to Microsoft shortly afterward?</i><p>Not only did he address this (&quot;I’m aware this goes against a lot of what I’ve said in public. I have no good response to that.&quot;), his public posts about it were fairly measured after his first response (which was mostly a few negative tweets):<p>&gt; <i>I have the greatest respect for the talented engineers and developers at Oculus. It’s been a long time since I met a more dedicated and talented group of people. I understand this is purely a business deal, and I’d like to congratulate both Facebook and the Oculus owners. But this is where we part ways.</i><p>It&#x27;s silly to expect consistency in people&#x27;s reactions to everything -- I doubt you are &quot;fair&quot; with every reaction you have to things that affect you -- but, regardless, &quot;I still strongly believe that Notch (and many others) took it too far&quot; is an (ironically) excessive reaction to what actually happened.
