Mojang also cancelled making Minecraft for it, setting it up for massive failure.
Reference?
Gus has talked many times on the podcast about how he thinks VR -- like Oculus -- is a future-less gimmick akin to 3D movies. Now Oculus is being purchased by Facebook and everyone is losing their shit about how this is the death of Oculus.
Whatsapp and Instagram did not die. Facebook is not Yahoo, in the past they handled acquired companies well.

This is facebooks first acquisition of something not related to Mobile, Websites or facebook in general.
Maybe we'll hear about it in the next podcast, with Gus, Gavin, Barbara, Burnie & Gus.

10 seconds googling would honestly solve this question.
It's a company that makes a virtual reality headset/hardware called the Oculus Rift.
Looks like Gus was right after all.
