Dude was always a jackass this just cements it.

 

[kai3345]

i've been saying that luckey was a lowkey scumbag for a minute now, it's nice to finally have some proof

 

[Buzzati]

“I’ve got plenty of money,” Luckey added. “Money is not my issue. I thought it sounded like a real jolly good time.”

I guess Notch was right. When you get rich, you no longer have the motivation to do anything worthwhile.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Wow fuck this guy. I wouldn't feel right buying a rift, I don't care that he is not with the company anymore. If I ever get enough, it would be the vive for me.

Seriously, this guy can go straight to the lowest circle of hell.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

The shitshow this caused on reddit is amazing.

Milo was one of the big pusher for that thing, screw Lucky, I'll be sure to avoid his products now.

 

[Hellsing321]

Well now I regret buying a DK2. Fuck that fucking shitheel!

 

[low-G]

Let me state in this thread that I knew Palmer Luckey was a shithead before it was cool.

Not just on personal matters, but his terrible business & PR moves...

Doesn't help that they're marking up Oculus 3 times in price!

 

[Rentahamster]

lmfao, their secret financier was him?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Article says he sold it to Facebook

Yea that was a long time ago. He still has a role in the company, last I checked. But maybe not anymore? I haven't payed much attention since maybe April or May. He was very much still with the company then.

 

[RMI]

Fuck this sandal-wearing asshole. I am glad I never gave one fucking penny to this shitheel and his garbage product.

.

 

[DOWN]

Well that causes a rift in my interest in that company

Jk he's not there anymore. So fuck him but go Oculus

Article says he sold it to Facebook

Selling a company doesn't mean leaving a company. Many people who sell their companies remain working or managing at the company.

 

[Killthee]

And I thought my opinion of the guy couldn't go any lower, silly me.

 

[johnsmith]

Palmer Luckey is a piece of shit?

SHOCKING

 

[Squire]

If he's still with the company then yeah fuck Oculus too...

He is.

This is even wilder in the context of that Chan Zuckerberg announcement from earlier today.

Oh then fuck em both.

I reinstate my rift joke.

 

[marrec]

The "nimble" thing is also related to the alt-right centipede stuff on reddit, yes?

Yep.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Selling a company doesn't mean leaving a company. Many people who sell their companies remain working or managing at the company.

And usually there are terms for staying on for a set period of time to fully cash out for principals.

 

[Makonero]

This should be shit instead of rocket exhaust

 

[EatinOlives]

Really not surprising considering how much of an asshole he is.

At least I know for certain which of the two major VR headsets I'll buy if I ever get one.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow. What an asshole

 

[ArtHands]

Article says he sold it to Facebook

but he's still at Oculus. I don't know, I feel like this site is full of shit.

Where's Palmer Luckey on this page? thedailybeast.com stated that he's listed as the vice-president on the site.

[Oersted]

Palmer's got some explaining to do, cause this makes him look like a pretty reprehensible shit heel.

I'm making a wild guess that he is the kind of shit heel who finds amusement in being seeing as one. "Altright" is full of them.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wow.

Wow.

Working with moderators of The Donald? Wowwowoowow.

Thanks for the monies, y'all!

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Not buying an oculus anymore, OSVR it is.

 

[Arcia]

I hope Giant Bomb never has him on their live E3 shows again. He was so smug and unpleasant last time too, I knew something was up, this just confirms it.

 

[The Elite]

Article says he sold it to Facebook

He's still around in some capacity.

I love my Rift but Palmer is now officially a shithead.

 

[RelaxedOtter]

What a garbage human being.

 

[User1608]

Guess the oculus rift is to be avoided. Easy.

 

[aza]

Yeah, if you go through the list of tweets he's liked, you can see he's liked some pretty questionable comments. I unfollowed him a while back.

 

[TheTylerRob]

Let's make this delicious meme blow up until Oculus goes bankrupt and nobody will let him talk anymore.

 

[Balb]

What's up with these video game billionaires?

 

[NYCmetsfan]

First of all the title should be "pro-trump" not anti hillary. He's actively suporting Trump

and this Jeet Heer post gets and not just an opportunity to crack jokes

@HeerJeet
4. A small group of plutocrats, located primarily in Silicon Valley, have decided that American politics needs disruption via overt racism.

Look at Peter Thiel another rich silicon valley trump backer who's funded lawsuits to quite journalists reporting critically, decries women's participation openly calls for fascistic type policies.

Silicon Valley is not your friend.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm making a wild guess that he is the kind of shit heel who finds amusement in being seeing as one. "Altright" is full of them.

You're probably right, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt when he really didn't deserve it. Fuck him and fuck Oculus so long as the continue parading him around as a face of their company.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Yeah, if you go through the list of tweets he's liked, you can see he's liked some pretty questionable comments. I unfollowed him a while back.

Anime avatar, the pattern keeps being confirmed... :/

 

[StopMakingSense]

What's up with these video game billionaires?

Engineers can be quite libertarian/conservative. Little wonder him and Carmack got along so well.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Yeah, if you go through the list of tweets he's liked, you can see he's liked some pretty questionable comments. I unfollowed him a while back.

ANIME AVATARS

 

[FunkyMunkey]

What's up with these video game billionaires?

petulant children getting phenomenally lucky (luckey?) by tinkering/investing/inventing the right technology at the right time and attracting the right people. google says he's worth 700 million. ayylmao.jpg

 

[Reg]

Let's boycott this shit!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What's up with these video game billionaires?

They are rich, young and (mostly) white. You think they have the capacity for empathy and care about the consequences for others of their actions? Probably developmentally stunted emotionally and socially.

 

[Big-E]

Want to believe those Bethesda allegations even more now.

 

[Dryk]

I just generally assume anyone who lives in the valley is a piece of shit. It saves time.

 

[jett]

Well fuck this dude.

While (thankfully) it doesn't seem like the Rift is taking off, hopefully it crashes and burn in the near future.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

He's been an alt right clown for a while. Check his Twitter favorites.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Yeah, if you go through the list of tweets he's liked, you can see he's liked some pretty questionable comments. I unfollowed him a while back.

Yeah, there have been signs of this side of him before. I am saddened that I used to respect the guy.

 

[aliengmr]

Fuck this guy. I can't believe I actually had some amount of respect for him.

 

[jay]

Carmack's probably a Trump guy, too.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Don't understand how anyone could support Trump unless you are racist or just easily misled by Fox News. It's even more shocking when you factor in that the guy is young.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

This will be an interesting thread.

Hmm. I think I'll support PSVR on PC instead

 

[NYCmetsfan]

What's up with these video game billionaires?

Mal-adjusted white dudes who hit money before they hit money early and despise the fact that women and minorities have the audacity to critique their "genus".

Read an ayn rand book, that's who the people admire. They think they are gift to man and want to be respected not belittled and lash out when they are

 

[BstnRich]

Just here to add to the shit pile, Rick.

Fuck Palmer.
