Facebook’s VR Company Is Facing A Total Shutdown
According to Reuters, ZeniMax is seeking an injunction on sales of any product that uses their technology, which has been widely distributed to developers working on games for Oculus products, notably the Oculus Rift. If granted, it would likely limit what games are available for the Rift to a tiny handful, already a problem for a company with product sales lagging in its market.
This in turn raises the question of whether Oculus can stay afloat. The $500 million judgement was against both the company and its founders, including Palmer Luckey, and currently they’re appealing the verdict. It’s widely believed ZeniMax is trying to force a settlement and end the appeal process early. Either way, it seems unlikely that the saga of Facebook’s increasingly ill-fated foray into VR is over just yet.

This kinda marks the end of VR. It was going no where fast.
If it doesn't die out completely, then mobile VR will be the future.
VR in it's current state does not accommodate enough people to be main stream.

GG Facebook, GG.
You just flew too close to the sun.
And as Greek mythology has taught us..
That's not a very smart thing to do.
