I had some other stuff I wanted to write about today, but then Facebook just threw down $2 billion dollars and purchased Oculus VR. As per The Verge:

Zuckerberg says that Facebook will "focus on helping Oculus build out their product and develop partnerships to support more games." But he makes clear that after Oculus sees through its gaming ambitions, Facebook will expand the product into new territory. "We're going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face — just by putting on goggles in your home." Zuckerberg equates Oculus to "a new communication platform" and clearly has a vision that extends far beyond the gaming focus that helped Oculus become a smash Kickstarter success.

Seems like a crazy diversification by Facebook, but ultimately it seems to make sense. That being said, from a game angle I can't help but think this will hurt more than it will help.
