Yeah I'd expect something closer to like 7-8pm EST/ 4-5pm PST.
I guess that doesn't bode well for those of us hoping he'll get the boot.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect that. They will try to bury it first. Maybe if this is still stinging them in a month or so, they'll take action.
Does anyone remember the cringey Palmer handshake gif? Maybe it was a secret KKK greeting thang right in front of our eyes?
I still think they'll kick him out. Why keep him? He's poison, and they have better engineers by far. He's demonstrated he's a giant moron that can't control himself.I guess that doesn't bode well for those of us hoping he'll get the boot.
Just woke up after following this expecting to see a statement for FB/oculus but no!
What is taking so long?

Well what can he say? "I was hacked?"

Insomniac Games, creator of top Oculus title Edge of No Where, told Kotaku in an e-mail that they “condemn all forms of hate speech,” adding that, “this behavior and sentiment does not reflect the values of the many Oculus employees we work with on a daily basis.” They did not respond to our question about whether Luckey’s support for a Trump-centric organization affects their interest in future Oculus-based products.
Smaller studios led the push against Oculus support. On Twitter last night, VR studio Tomorrow Today Labs described Palmer Luckey’s actions as “unacceptable.” As long as Luckey is involved with Oculus, Tomorrow Today Labs told Kotaku in an e-mail, they won’t be supporting the Oculus Touch for their Newton VR or upcoming products. Similarly, Scruta Games, which also develops for VR, said that, until Luckey steps down, they’ll be cancelling Oculus support for their games.
“It’s not about ‘politics,’” they wrote on Twitter, “it’s about the face of a company financially backing racist trolls.”
Some developers who were exploring Oculus support, but didn’t have concrete plans to pursue it, have expressed abated interest in the VR headset. Augustin Cordes has considered his horror game Asylum a good fit for Oculus, but told Kotaku in an e-mail that he’ll be holding off pursuing Oculus support until “the situation with Luckey is resolved.”
SoundStage VR, a “music instrument sandbox built specifically for roomscale virtual reality,” has said that all SoundStage profits for the next day will be contributed to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The weirdest part about whole is thing to me is that Luckey is actually paying people to shitpost.
Saw this Kotaku piece getting reactions from some devs. Some interesting reactions.

I don't think he should be hated for his beliefs. Just his actions.
That is all.

Good.Saw this Kotaku piece getting reactions from some devs. Some interesting reactions.
They would want to bury firing him too. Getting this stain away from the company as quietly as possible is the prerogative
So believing what he does is ok as long as he doesn't start lynching people? Or am I misunderstanding. I mean I know I took the bait but I want to make sure I am understanding it right.

Would you consider funding a group to be a belief or an action?
Indirectly he is harming a lot of people with thisIt's not bait. It's simply my belief that you shouldn't hate on people for their beliefs. And yes. If he were not harming anyone by having these beliefs then it shouldn't matter.

But it does harm people, these beliefs aren't in a vacuum.
Yeah, as someone pointed out in the other thread, it makes sense that right now, not many devs would effectively react until Facebook communicates a stance one way or another.ball's in facebook's court
What if those beliefs involve inherent hatred of you, as a person, given your sexual orientation, or gender, or religion, or ethnicity/heritage? Would you still be making that statement?

I don't get what you're trying to do here. That's obviously an action. Therefore take issue with it.
I don't expect much to come of this.

I do. And I'm selling my Rift if this doesn't go the way I want. And I'm giving the funds to the Clinton campaign.
No bullshit.
