Epic Games could potentially corner a portion of the VR market. The VR market may explode bigger than the internet. I wish Epic Games was publicly traded, I would definitely buy the stock.

Facebook has its own plans with Oculus, such as turning it into another Second Life-style social network.

It is hardware - we can do as we please with it, we're not limited to Facebook's software.

The iPhone is hardware - we can do as we please with it, we're not limited to Apple's software.

Seriously, what fantasy universe are you living in where all hardware is open and easily used for whatever you want?

Cydia.

Dust up your Joust skills. Oculus mixed with a social world does match up with the OASIS in Ready Player One possibly.

Ready Player One - what a totally fantastic book. One of my absolute favourites!
