The big news that Facebook buying Oculus Rift for $2 billion has gone through, thus changing the entire future of the company. Facebook has been on a tear recently, being extra aggressive with its acquisitions and diversifying its portfolio.
Facebook has been the biggest social media presence on the net for over half a decade. It's become so big and important that people don't even have to remind themselves to check their profiles for notifications. Companies understand how important Facebook is and as such have used it in their own products.
There have been board games, cars and even cosmetics dedicated to the largest friend network in the world. The site may be the king but with Facebook buying Oculus Rift, it puts it into a different stratosphere.
