Despite the general bunk of Kickstarter’s claim that it isn’t a store, it’s clear that Oculus’ backers were contributing to the company’s campaign because they believe in a future where virtual reality is viable, not because they wanted to pre-order a shirt. Oculus was well on its way to making that future a reality — its headset is expected to best similar products from Sony and Microsoft — without having to sell to a social network-turned-Silicon Valley behemoth.
