Carmack has started tweeting a bit about the deal, including:

"I have a deep respect for the technical scale that FB operates at. The cyberspace we want for VR will be at this scale."

"For the record, I am coding right now, just like I was last week.I expect the FB deal will avoid several embarrassing scaling crisis for VR."
