To be fair to Notch, a huge chunk of Oculus fans were devastated by the unexpected Facebook acquisition, not just him. &#x2F;r&#x2F;Oculus was in flames the day it was announced. Notch put it this way &quot;I did not chip in ten grand to seed a first investment round to build value for a Facebook acquisition.&quot; Gamers at large were really disappointed because Oculus was a games focused device and then suddenly it&#x27;s owned by a social networking company whose only reputation for games is being a place for friend-pestering, &quot;free&quot;-to-plays (the exact opposite of what most self ascribed &quot;gamers&quot; want for the future of gaming). It makes sense that they would be worried. I think Oculus has done a good job allaying those fears but it makes sense that oculus fans would cautiously optimistic.
