Facebook purchasing Oculus felt like a weird move when it happened, and has gotten no less weird over time. It makes me sad, because if you showed this exact same product but called it, say, Disney Horizon or Nintendo Horizon you would feel so much more optimistic about where this could go.

What are these two companies really getting from one another? Whatever it is, I don’t think it’s working.

If it was 'Disney Horizon', I wouldn't even consider using it since I am not their target market.

With 'Facebook Horizon', I'd feel apprehensive about using another one of their products, but ultimately would go for it.
