2 million dollars is not a lot to begin with for development of a tool like this. It served its intended purpose, to kickstart the project. Additional funding is still required to complete the project.

I'm not happy with facebook buying oculus rift though. I fear that facebook will force you to stay "connected". It's the current trend I guess, the whole connected thing and I don't like it one bit. I don't even like facebook but there's basically no alternative offered that doesn't mingle with other services or isn't deserted. It's being shoved down your throat.
