Support NeoGAF

[Deleted member 284]

Facebook taking a huge L right now

Edit: from an admittedly political view, I hope corporations are taking notice.

 

[Bass260]

Respect.

 

[Nirolak]

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

I'm not expecting most mid sized or larger companies to cut support unless it becomes clear that Facebook is not firing Palmer Luckey.

Oculus is radioactive right now, but most publishers and developers are going to give Facebook a window to act first.

Phil Fish to Palmer: SUCK MY DICK. CHOKE ON IT.

 

[Melkezadek]

This please me greatly. I hope more follow.

Ruh roh

 

[Spukc]

[OnionPowder]

Good on them

Spoiler

[pixelation]

Major props to Polytron.

 

[jmaine_ph]

They're not playing with Palmer.

 

[wild wild rice]

Phil Fish with the face turn!

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

What's gonna happen when we discover that Gabe Newell is a Trump supporter?

 

[GHerrsch]

.

 

[dreamfall]

R e s p e c t !

 

[Backlogger]

I've never liked Palmer but I'm still a little confused by all of this

Is this just because he is supporting Trump? Because tons of celebrities support Hillary and liberal and Democrat causes.

Seems kind of extreme but I'm still trying to catch up on all this.

Sounds like there were some racist memes or posts under Palmer's psuedo Reddit account?

 

[blackMamba1187]

Good.

 

[TheMissingLink]

Bravo.

 

[wild wild rice]

Won't matter as long as Valve isn't making any games.

The thing that a lot of people have pointed out is what Palmer is doing is far beyond being a simple Trump supporter.

 

[Aaron]

Yes. This is excellent.

This post kind of answers my question. Still trying to get caught up on this matter

go read the bigass thread

 

[Twookie]

It begins. Good on em.

On a slightly unrelated note, cool to that Phil is still making games

 

[EmiPrime]

Phil Fish and crew are good people.

 

[Rymuth]

Good

 

[NoFaceNico]

But what if I'm boycotting both Palmer and Fish?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Solution is simple. Fire Luckey.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Fucking nice one; good for them. I hope this is the first of many.

 

[zethren]

Super proud of you, Phil.
This is awesome

I know, I'm just joking around. Just being a Trump supporter is pretty shitty, though.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I thought lucky was out of oculus?

 

[TheKastorian]

(Sony rubbing their hands together)

 

[Sabas]

Good on them.

 

[artsi]

I thought lucky was out of oculus?

He's still in but just an employee.

 

[psyfi]

Excellent.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Things going to get very interesting in the up coming weeks.

 

[Ferrio]

Also it must really suck to be an Oculus dev right now. The cards are stacked against you already and now this.

 

[Tansut]

But what if I'm boycotting both Palmer and Fish?

Buy a Vive for a white supremacist?

 

[Mahonay]

Yay Phil Fish!

 

[Trogdor1123]

He's still in but just an employee.

Right, moved to " founder" or something. Why not just fire him. There are lots of people that will suffer if isn't.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Take notes Mark Zuckerberg and co.

Fire him and leave him in the dust.

 

[GhostTrick]

Good. I hope more will follow

 

[Plasma]

Good for them, hopefully a few more follow suite.

 

[Jigorath]

Good on them.

 

[forgeforsaken]

Vice has an article up covering some other small devs dropping support

[UrbanDandy]

So, am I correct in assuming Facebook and Microsoft are going to lose money?

 

[Mugen08]

Happy to see this.

 

[fin]

I thought they were Canadian?

 

[zethren]

They need to fire Luckey, and publicly state at this point that his views do not reflect the views of Facebook and Oculus. That's probably the only way to mend this.

 

[TONX]

Damn, how many companies have pledged to stop Oculus support now?
