I have made a short, sweet little message.
Something that you all need to say to anyone that is still in doubt about all this.
If Mark wanted to help Oculus.
Why didn't he do it through kickstarter like everyone else?

Edited by Bistromathics: 3/27/2014 4:05:22 AMBecause he doesn't want to "help", he wants to invest. Kickstarter is a charity platform where you get zero say in running or guiding the business. If you want to develop the technology and think you can make something out of it, that's a pretty shitty proposition. This isn't Happy Fun Friends Lending Company, it's actual business. When you invest money in something, you put in a lot of it based on what you feel you can get out, and you can also put the force of your experience and infrastructure behind it. Mark Zuckerberg the Kickstarter backer would put in $5 and never care about it again. Facebook the owner will put in billions and turn it into a transformational product-- or at least that's the dream.

Edited by MR E0S: 3/27/2014 4:10:59 AMYou're probably right.... I mean about him only putting $5 dollars in through kickstarter. Which is why I have even more respect for Persson for throwing in $10,000 That is how you help. Not by destroying a start-up with your corporate greed. And I'm sorry, but Oculus really is a transformational product indeed. My only hope is... that FB can tank fast enough to make Palmer realize his mistake in taking a deal of only $400M
