14 miljarder kronor kostade det för Facebook att köpa Oculus VR, företaget som tillverkar och utvecklar VR-hjälmen Oculus Rift. Såhär säger Oculus själva om uppköpet:
"We are excited to work with Mark and the Facebook team to deliver the very best virtual reality platform in the world. We believe virtual reality will be heavily defined by social experiences that connect people in magical, new ways. It is a transformative and disruptive technology, that enables the world to experience the impossible, and it's only just the beginning."
Facebook-grundaren Mark Zuckerberg skrev såhär på Facebook om affären:
"The Rift is highly anticipated by the gaming community, and there's a lot of interest from developers in building for this platform. We're going to focus on helping Oculus build out their product and develop partnerships to support more games. Oculus will continue operating independently within Facebook to achieve this. But this is just the start. After games, 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."
Vi får väl anta att Facebook avser att ge sig in på allvar i spelindustrin i och med detta ordentliga uppköp.
