Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of Oculus VR closed today, officially cementing the deal (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/25/facebook-buys-oculus-vr/) that was announced in March. Oculus and Facebook are as inseparable as a vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-20100405). Or a tech company and another tech company targeting a slightly different market.
To celebrate their unity, Facebook and Oculus released a single, joint statement regarding today's finalization: "We're looking forward to an exciting future together, building the next computing platform and reimagining the way people communicate."
We discussed the Facebook deal with Oculus VR CEO Brendan Iribe (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/06/13/oculus-ceo-we-invited-sony-to-see-oculus-prototypes/) at E3: He said that Oculus always planned to reach a mass market, and Facebook, with its 1.2 billion users, helps the company reach that goal.
