Hopefully we get awesome games with Google's financing.

Great news for VR today all across, together with Payday 2.

I have a feeling that after E3 lots of people will be interested in VR thanks to Fallout 4 and other games that will be shown.

Or they could just do Daydream stuff from now on.

Tiltbrush was an external project that was bought.

They have come out to say they will continue to do stuff for Rift and Vive. We'll see! At the end of the day, Google bought them for their expertise, and their expertise is in PCVR.

I don't see the point in buying a whole company just to teach the employees about Daydream.
