Creator of Minecraft Develops Experimental VR Project (roadtovr.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Despite his on-again off-again relationship with VR headset maker Oculus, the creator of Minecraft, Markus "Notch" Persson, has developed an experimental virtual reality project that leverages WebVR technology to run directly within a browser using a Rift DK2 headset. Notch contributed $10,000 to Oculus' 2012 Kickstarter, and even traveled from Europe to visit the company in its early days. After Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of Oculus in 2014, his enthusiasm dwindled, saying "I definitely want to be a part of VR, but I will not work with Facebook." One month before selling his own company to Microsoft for a similar sum, he said he was "officially over being upset about Facebook buying Oculus."

Yea, when you're about to be bought out by the company who you said you'd never make software for certain things they make ... and then you change your mind for a billion dollars ... you gotta kinda shut your fucking mouth about the other sell-outs that did the same thing you're about to do ... don'tcha?
Notch is a sell-out douche, plan and simple.
But you know what, for a billion dollars ... I'm a sell-out douche too. Everyone has their price.
