Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of Oculus VR won't speed up the Rift's development or push forward a launch date, Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey told Game Informer. "There are things that are fixed in time that need to happen that no amount of money or partnership can move," Luckey said.

Facebook's buyout was a sudden shock to the industry at large, and it happened almost as quickly on the inside, right in Oculus headquarters after Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg tried the hardware for himself, Oculus VR co-founder Brendan Iribe told the site.
