Oculus hopeful of Minecraft support one day

Minecraft could still head to the Oculus Rift one day in the future, according to Oculus VR co-founder Palmer Luckey.

After Facebook spent $2billion USD to acquire Oculus earlier in the week, Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson said his game wouldn't be appearing on the Rift.

However Luckey claimed that once developers see the positive side to this deal they'll be jumping on board.

"Facebook and Oculus are not an obvious fit, unlike WhatsApp or Instagram," he told VentureBeat. "You can see how they fit together.

"If I were to read the headline, I would be confused about why it would be a good thing. We've already said quite a bit. We're going to have more good news about what we will be able to do now. We are working with Facebook and we can't announce it yet.

"Every developer we are working with has had a very positive reaction. My inbox is flooded by email. A huge number of developers. Some people are upset. But the vast majority who are actually software developers see why this is a good thing."

Luckey mentioned Notch by name and said he is hopeful that they can come to an agreement one day.

"Notch is an exception to the rule. After he sees everything we are able to do, I hope he will change his mind."
