So it seems that Palmer Luckey threw some money at Nimble America, a group dedicated to "shitposting memes about Hillary Clinton." This was first reported by The Daily Beast and now Palmer and the Beast's reporter are having a bit of a Twitter fight over what he did and didn't say. Still, both do seem to agree on the fact that he has supported Nimble America. http://www.polygon.com/2016/9/23/13038928/oculus-palmer-luckey-pro-trump-anti-clinton

Original Beast article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...re-secretly-funding-trump-s-meme-machine.html

Some developers are now saying they will not port to Oculus until Luckey steps down. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/in...c3In0=&utm_campaign=20160510&utm_medium=email

I have to agree with them. Claiming you're supporting a hate group because they have 'fresh ideas' about how to reach young people?? Seriously??

P.S. Arg, I didn't finish the name of the thread and now I can't touch it! It should be Luckey, Oculus, and Nimble America.

When you read it from forum section it says Luckey, Oculus and Zloth...what did you get yourself into? :p
But yeah, heard of this one, threw a few racist, obnoxious remarks, now he's retracting statements that he claims he never made.

I aint even care if he's an alt-right slob. But what kind of a maniac has millions of dollars and is all, "Hmm what to do with my room full of gold coins? I think I'll use it to fund more people posting bullshit on the internet!"
