HN threads about Oculus VR / Facebook acquisition.

1. Oculus was kickstarted.
2. People wanted it to work.
3. it worked. is promissing
4. After sometime fb offers 2b.
5. Oculus seals the fb deal and shows middle finger to the kickstarters ala. backers.

whatever be the motivation : basically if the perceived value of one’s “passion” turned business is way to low beyond the offered sum : arithmetic would say go for it.

But seriously ?? Can money be the only drive or push-pull ?

#confusion

can’t imagine myself in such situations. to deny such offers one has to go up above in a position where the offer is negligible. How come?
