You may have seen the news yesterday that ties Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey to Nimble America, a Trump-endorsing organization Luckey started to defame Clinton via "the power of Internet memes".

In a political climate as fragile and horrifying as this one, we cannot tacitly endorse these actions by supporting Luckey or his platform.

In light of this, we will not be pursuing Oculus support for our upcoming VR release, SUPERHYPERCUBE.

If you are a voting citizen of the United States, please remember to register and make your voice heard this November 8th. Do not let bigotry, white supremacy, hate and fear win.


Kokoromi & Polytron

EDIT: Yes, SUPERHYPERCUBE is the game Phil Fish is working on with some other devs, will be a launch title of PSVR

EDIT2: Insomniac also weighted in on the issue

"Insomniac Games condemns all forms of hate speech. While everyone has a right to express his or her political opinion, the behavior and sentiments reported do not reflect the values of our company. We are also confident that this behavior and sentiment does not reflect the values of the many Oculus employees we work with on a daily basis."

Kudos.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

So it begins

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Like a house of cards...

 

[5taquitos]

It begins.

I've already switched my theoretical future purchase to the spendier Vive.

 

[Palette Swap]

Good. I hope more will follow.

 

[J-Skee]

And it starts...

 

[WrenchNinja]

Nicely said.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Respect.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

[ElMexiMerican]

Very awesome of them to do this.

 

[BlackJet]

Good. What an asshole.

 

[andrerobot]

respect.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Isn't this the Phil fish game?

Do... Do i now like him?

 

[SynthFetish]

I love Polytron. Glad they are taking a stand.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

And the first domino begins to fall. I hope more developers follow suit.

 

[shamanick]

This is Phil Fish, right? It's gonna be an interesting week

 

[Tsosie]

Was going to wait on PSVR until more games were released (RE7), but I think I will purchase this game day 1 now whether I have the unit or not at release.

 

[BocoDragon]

This is Phil Fish, right? It's gonna be an interesting week

Yup. Grab your popcorn.

 

[Cardon]

Good on them.

 

[Tain]

Very believable, but does anyone have a source for the pastebin link?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Hoooooly shit.

Domino effect incoming?

 

[wideface]

Well done. Respect.

 

[letmetrythisname]

I told you VR was a meme.

 

[msdstc]

Holy shit this is gigantic.

 

[daegan]

This just makes me want to buy the game even more. Gonna wait until I actually pick up a PSVR though, maybe next year sometime...

 

[Nokterian]

The first of many..

 

[daebo]

Glad to hear this. Hope it doesn't turn into a bash Phil fish thread.

 

[Catalix]

Folks with integrity. I salute you.

I STAND WITH FISH

[bobawesome]

Isn't this the Phil fish game?

Do... Do i now like him?

Do you want everyone to make your opinions for you?

 

[artsi]

I can see FB / Oculus cutting Palmer loose soon considering they don't even need him anymore and he's apparently not in any managerial position either.

 

[Debirudog]

Good.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Hope more developers start dropping support. This is probably the biggest game to drop support so far, yeah?

 

[Ferrio]

In all the doom and gloom threads about VR did anyone call Trump as one of the reasons for it's fall? Someone deserves a medal if they called that.

Awaiting the hatred towards them for it though, since it's Phil Fish.

 

[outunderthestars]

Happy to see the backlash getting ramped up.

 

[Zombie James]

Hope this is just the start.

 

[Neuromancer]

The right move. Good job Polytron. In return I will buy SHC day one on PSVR.

[Tain]

nvm here it is: https://twitter.com/Polytron/status/779392568425455616

 

[Trojan]

Wow, good on them. I would not be happy with Palmer if I were an Oculus owner. Even looking past his own personal beliefs, to publicly side with that group was an incredibibly stupid business move that is going to have bad repurcussions to the Rift.

 

[mike6467]

I STAND WITH FISH

#PHILFISH2016

Yep yep yep.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Props to them.

Game looks pretty cool too.

 

[CaptNink]

Good. Hope this ball keeps rolling and gathers steam.

 

[Foggy]

Cool
