I could see Epic purchasing Oculus, I would be more likely to get that then with Oculus through facebook.

Plus, if they put some form of VR integration into Fortnite that could seriously drive adoption.

Epic and most other companies don’t have the kind of money to fund Oculus

I think people don’t appreciate that there is about 5000 engineers working on Oculus at FB. Then add all the supporting functions...it’s easily 7-8k

Epic games had EBITDA of a billion dollars this year. They could afford quite a bit if they wanted to go that direction.

That wouldn't even cover a year of Oculus' operations.

The number of engineers working on a product is not the same as the number of engineers needed to build a product.

Exactly. A friend who worked at Oculus said they had the most over the top tricked out work stations and he was just doing testing.
