Sorry Palmer, you had your chance.

 

[def sim]

He must think we're stupid.

 

[Toki767]

So he's sorry that Oculus is getting their reputation dragged in the mud.

Not sorry about giving money to the group.

 

[GravityInsanity]

You're sorry?

 

[Calm Mind]

 

[BreezyLimbo]

The Daily Beast story specifically says that Luckey told them he posted as NimbleRichMan, and the organization reportedly listed him as a Vice President, and both the organization and the account said that any donation to the organization would be matched by said anonymous near-billionaire . . .

He certainly didn't deny anything the beast article said

 

[tedrotheredro]

$10k might seem like chump change if you were filthy rich, but even rich people understand the power and influence demanded by funding that kind of money.

 

[Loudninja]

Just to be clear, the organization didn't list Luckey as their vice president, they listed "NimbleRichMan" as their vice president.

The daily beast needs to release the transcript where Luckey admits to being NimbleRichMan.

Or Luckey needs to sue them for defamation or libel or whatever it's called.

The act that Facebook still did not respond tells you alot.

 

[Mahonay]

That reads more like an apology to Facebook and Oculus than publicly addressing anything.

100%

 

[Kusagari]

Did FB actually okay this stupid ass response?

 

[Brashnir]

This is what's blowing my mind. He's gonna play he said/she said with a reputable outlet when he's the one with an entire career to lose?

Dude's a moron and digging himself an even deeper hole. Racist dumbass.

You better be real sure the conversation never happened when you're trying to pit your word against someone who probably recorded it.

 

[Unicorn]

Are you sorry about your actions though

Seriously. I'm sorry that my offensive stuff has gotten my money makers in trouble, not that I'm sorry about the shit that I did. rihanna (?) gif is pretty much exactly how this "apology" reads.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I'm questioning if I've ever read a public apology that actually involved someone being sorry for what they did

Because Luckey sure as shit ain't sorry

 

[Glassboy]

Why the hell would it take him so long to come out and say he wasn't nimbelrichman? I'm calling bs

 

[thelastcrusader]

Who is planning on buying an Oculus anyways when Vive is available?

 

[Ketch]

The act that Facebook still did not respond tells you alot.

How so?

The only thing it tells me is that they don't know either.

 

[Maintenance]

You better be real sure the conversation never happened when you're trying to pit your word against someone who probably recorded it.

Oh this reminds me of something that happened recently.

Something something twit, something something racists.

 

[sym30l1c]

Wow, isn't somebody full of shit...

 

[M.W.]

Fuck this asshat and his shit product.

 

[_woLf]

He would have immediately said that he wasn't nimblerichman if that was truly the case.

 

[jabuseika]

Basically "Sorry I got caught".

 

[Claude Augario]

Already fucking up with that weak ass apology.

Let the dumpster fire burn!

 

[theWB27]

The only thing that trumps the racism is the greenery.

 

[_Ryo_]

Pft, whatever you say, you racist shitstain.

 

[netgrimoire]

First Peter Thiel and now this guy? Things are looking great at FB.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Sorry Palmer, this isn't remotely good enough.

Period.

We can smell the bullshit. I'm sure he thinks we're stupid, but we aren't.

 

[gigantor21]

And whats the explanation for his girlfriends racists tweets and association with gamergate?

I don't believe him at all.

Probably going to regret this, but what tweets specifically?

 

[kamineko]

He isn't even trying

 

[The Technomancer]

Aww gee guys, I didn't know what they were really doing, honest!

 

[BitStyle]

The Daily Beast story specifically says that Luckey told them he posted as NimbleRichMan, and the organization reportedly listed him as a Vice President, and both the organization and the account said that any donation to the organization would be matched by said anonymous near-billionaire . . .

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the dude is catching himself in a lie here.

So in the end it was:

Basically "Sorry I got caught".

 

[robotrock]

My god...he's staying at the company isn't he...

 

[SZips]

Period.

We can smell the bullshit. I'm sure he thinks we're stupid, but we aren't.

Go read the replies to that post on Facebook. People are lapping up this crap like there's no tomorrow. People don't see how what he did was in any way wrong. So yes, people are, in fact, stupid enough to buy this.

 

[EricDiesel]

I am deeply sorry that my actions are negatively impacting the perception of Oculus and its partners.

But you're not actually sorry you did them. Read you loud and clear, Palmer.

And I don't buy his excuse for a second.

 

[Phamit]

Surely The Daily Beast has him on audio saying he is NimbleRichMan? That could solve this Situation quit fast

 

[RumblingRosco]

Hell, if he's voting Johnson I still don't want to support his company.

[Baroquemantic]

Hmmm. I don't believe you.

Edit: ^ Looks like they have the receipts. Hope they post it tonight.

 

[Lunar15]

None of this makes sense at all.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Ah the Shaggy defense, "It wasn't me"



But we caught you on Reddit, "It wasn't me"

But you bragged to the media, "It wasn't me"

You were listed as VP, "It wasn't me"

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

So he is deeply sorry for his actions, but his actions are being misrepresented?

Also regardless he admits to making donations to Nimble America, which is still a very bad look.

 

[Alucrid]

From the Daily Beast authors

get fucked palmer

 

[NightShift]

Where's his apology video showing of his big house, expensive car and adorable dog?

 

[Jerm411]

Hey Palmer....

 

[BitStyle]

From the Daily Beast authors

Good. Seems like they have the receipts ready

 

[Mahonay]

Already fucking up with that weak ass apology.

Let the dumpster fire burn!

 

[Ketch]

From the Daily Beast authors

yes please.

 

[Brashnir]

Ah the Shaggy defense, "It wasn't me"



But we caught you on Reddit, "It wasn't me"

But you bragged to the media, "It wasn't me"

Smoking gun~ He's an idiot. Then again he didn't exactly deny the accusation, he's trying to spin it with his own half-truths.
