(3/26/2014) This is an exemplary story of modern capitalism. A startup, Oculus VR, just announced that it is sold to Facebook at $2B. If it is a virtual game company starts from private capital, it would be just a regular acquisition. However, Oculus VR "raised more than $2.4 million on Kickstarter in September 2012," and this sale pisses many sponsors off. This is different from a homeless person winning a lottery from passer-by's generosity. It ruins the passion in many people who are willing to help to fulfill a dream. Facebook's Oculus VR may still be successful in the future. However, how will the Oculus founders do to win back people's trust in them?
Lesson learned: Never forget about where we come from!
中文感想：一個受群眾募資而成功的公司，昨天宣布將被FB以20億美元買下，結果是讓那些曾經熱心捐助的人感到背叛。我的結論是，做人（或者是公司作為一個法人）不應該忘本！
