With HTC focus purely on VR now, he maybe got a job there, or some sort of consulting blabla, after parting ways with Oculus / Facebook

You'll last long.
He donated a shit ton of money to trumps campaign via a white supremacist site
I just think he's a nerd. His (also incredibly racist) girlfriend is a cosplayer, he had shell companies supporting Trump named after stuff from Chrono Trigger, his Twitter avatar was anime styled... I believe he's a brony as well?
Uh, do you know anything about Luckey?

He did found/bankrolled a PAC based on a cartoon frog that the Alt-Right (a known white supremacy group) has taken on as it's mascot.

Even a quick Google would explain shit.
Don't do this shit, dude's a white supremacist.

Ummm, it's not because he's white.
He was found to have been supporting the alt right.

Is this "give down-and-out bigots and flunkies a second chance week" or something?

I wonder if he'll share any hot takes about Hilary Clinton.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Its actually an onstage VR dialogue session with GOROman, a VR enthusiast and founder of XVI Inc.
I have seen various japanese game devs taking photos with him and talking with him on twitter (Shuhei Yoshida etc). They really dont give a shit about his US political stance and what happened in US.

I don't agree with his ideas (I think it's stupid I have to write this here to avoid being attacked by the entire board), but I am curious to hear what he says. After all, it is thanks to this guy we have modern VR and I definitely respect him as an engineer/scientist.
I don't think he's going to work for HTC, I think they'll probably just talk about the current technology and the evolution of VR.
(For some weird reasons looking him up on google.jp, the first suggestion coming up is "Palmer Luckey kanojo", girlfriend. Japanese girls do like them right-wing millionaires. )

Interesting. No one here mentioned Luckey's whiteness. Is that a freudian slip of some sort, and are you still looking for a third word that starts with K?

These sorts of threads are starting to become clockwork with not if but when Khaos will show up with the worst take imaginable.
Nah, nah, no way. He was just financially supporting them. Totally different!!*

Getting the founder of your biggest rival on your side can be a smart decision, but I think the whole "Nazi propagandist" thing more than cancels that out.
I really want Yosp to explain this, because it makes me upset to hear he might buy into that bullshit.

I have only one thing to say about this:
Im sure the japanese gaming audience is angry at him.
Yeah, any sort of ambiguity about what kind of supercunt64 Palmer Lucky is got blown up when it was revealed that this shitweasel was his girlfriend.

Why in the world would someone need to go out of their way to explain why they follow someone else on twitter. You can follow people you love, like, hate, want to keep an eye on, accidentally clicked on, don't know much about, want to learn more about....
Lol Yosp just retweeted tweets from Luckey at a VR event in Japan. He has been tweeting him forever.

I want to live guilt-free knowing money spent on my PlayStation isn't going through Yosp towards any of Jones' sugar pills. That thought genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable. I like having a rough idea of where my money goes, or in this case, doesn't.

No it doesnt and please do a little research first before making comments like this. No one has called Tom Brady, Elon Musk or Bill Gates a Nazi. There is a reason.

Instant boycott for me.
So I see everyone is pretty much "fuck Palmer", which is all fine and well, but otherwise, I'm excited to see what he's going to announce for the sake of VR.
It's because people find this partner attractive.

Crossing fingers on Re:Zero VR experience.
With all the backlash about his employment at Facebook over the Oculus, HTC would know better.
Don't be ignorant. There's a difference between being white and supporting white supremacist.

What the fuck are you talking about? You might wanna do some research on Lucky Palmer. Dude has financially supported a straight up white nationalist website. If that doesn't constitute as nazism then I'm not sure what does.
