Wow...just wow...it's all true. Luckey is finished, toast, done.

Screw him.

Wonder how Facebook is feeling right now?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Hoooly shit, first I've ever heard of this. No words for how sick this is.

Facebook and any other major business partners need to dump this guy immediately.

Sony suddenly rolls out a new box.

 

[adj_noun]

Good lord.

 

[Zombie James]

A truly inspirational man.

 

[K.Jack]

There goes any chance that I purchase a Rift.

I wonder how Phil Spencer takes this.

 

[Trojan]

OKKKulus Rift?

 

[Neiteio]

Dude's on the wrong side of history

Then again, we might all be history if Trump becomes president and reduces the world to slag the moment someone riles him up with a tweet

 

[kowhai]

That whole "stripper bikini" thing ramps the creep factor up to 11. Wow, what an odious man.

 

[Cartman86]

Interested to find out his exact status at Oculus since that story says Facebook no longer employs him. If he isn't there anymore even as a figurehead it might be time to get ahead of this story Oculus... I lost faith in them a while ago and it seemed like others were very quickly, and now this.

 

[Big Nikus]

Don't forget he wears flip-flops on stage.

If Zuckerberg wants to get rid of all disease, well getting rid of Luckey would be a good start.

lmao

 

[jett]

Oculus became villains so quickly

Oculus will be remembered as merely the thing that revived interest in VR. So many stupid decisions and remarks have been coming out of them, and this is just the end of the line for me.

 

[broncobuster]

That dweeb posturing and BS in the Reddit post. Sheesh.

 

[Salty Rice]

And i recently said that i dont like him and joked he is a hack fraud in another thread. Guess i was right.

Never could stand that prick and always knew he is a asshole.

 

[Ferrio]

I had already lost faith in Oculus, this puts a big giant racist nail in the coffin.

 

[Noobcraft]

Maybe Patcher was hinting at this. HE KNEW.

 

[tiebreaker]

This is one instance where the creator being a shit head put me off his/her product completely.

 

[Sai-kun]

How long until someone deems this thread unworthy of being open because it doesn't strictly relate to games? 😂

Luckey's a piece of shit. Good work, man.

Bueno

“It’s something that no campaign is going to run,” Luckey said of the proposed billboards for the project.

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

But in another post written under Luckey’s Reddit pseudonym, there are echoes of a similar tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, who used his deep pockets to secretly fund a campaign against Gawker.

“The American Revolution was funded by wealthy individuals,” NimbleRichMan wrote on Saturday. Luckey confirmed to The Daily Beast he penned the posts under his Reddit pseudonym. “The same has been true of many movements for freedom in history. You can’t fight the American elite without serious firepower. They will outspend you and destroy you by any and all means.”

Disgusting. What a gross cocktail of stupidity, hate, money and privilege.

I want to be very clear. I think Palmer has every right to do this shit. And I have every right to do everything I can to never support any of his endeavors financially and to suggest to my friends that they do the same.

2016, black supremacy is in! White supremacy is out! Next year is opposite year! Fuck this nightmare let's just play games and ignore stupid people. It's easy. I do it every day you can too.

 

[Psamtik. Death's Demise]

I suspect (and hope) that he's about to discover that white supremacy, like VR, is a niche market.

 

[GravityInsanity]

So you have to tell me every time I look at Hillary's replies on Twitter seeing a bunch of hateful memes about her, Palmer was responsible for this?

 

[Yukinari]

This is one instance where the creator being a shit head put me off his/her product completely.

We just recently had a thread asking if a designers politics affects your enjoyment of their product.

I can safely say this will for a lot of people.

 

[lol51]

turn reality to shit so everyone escapes to VR

brilliantly evil

Niche market? Not even, it's the on-disc DLC of culture.

Nah, I don't want to ignore a POS who is funding white supremacist groups.

 

[Neiteio]

Maybe it's all an elaborate ploy to take Trump supporters' money and RUN

 

[Portugeezer]

Will Oculus get a price drop now?

 

[foltzie1]

I guess it's not too surprising anymore the the Oculus Store is a walled garden, is it?

I laughed.

 

[marzlapin]

Silicon Valley technocrat culture is the worst.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Wow...just wow...it's all true. Luckey is finished, toast, done.

Screw him.

Facebook is feeling fine. They have a dude on their board who spoke at the RNC and has said that American democracy was destroyed when women got the right to vote.

Silicon Valley is very welcoming to rich white dudes with libertarian technocrat leanings.

Junior Member playing 'devil's advocate', huh? Refusing to acknowledge that entertainment doesn't exist in a bubble. How novel.

Yes derail the thread why don't cha

 

[Illucio]

I was always interested in Oculus, but it seems Vive is now the logical route.

 

[AzaK]

OK, sorry. This is a joke thread right?

 

[jediyoshi]

Not a bad idea for developers

Shit, I read the news every day (hell, I work in news), and I didn't hear about this.

This fucking world.

Is it really libertarian to have supported a government mandate on banning women from voting?

Let's get Trump an Oculus Rift and build a game where the stories he tells magically become reality retroactively. He can be president there instead.

 

[MrMephistoX]

Not that it matters to him financially but if this is true Zuckerberg is so going to fire his ass.

 

[partyphone]

Palmer has said some shitty things in the past and I can't remember if it was libertarian tech bro bullshit or gamergate bullshit. looking into it now but sufficed to say I'm not surprised by this.

 

[Oersted]

Being a white supremacist isn't a career killer.

Well apparently you failed today.
