hi friends are we still talking about luckey palmer?

he is a fake rear end bitch

Now, this is just ZeniMax's side of the story, but basically they're pretty pissed that Luckey + Oculus made billions from the Facebook buyout, when a large part of Oculus is based on Zenimax tech.

quote:

“Oculus needed to be able to explain how it came to own VR technology, but did not want to acknowledge that it had misappropriate, and was using, ZeniMax’s technology. Oculus . . . disseminated to the press the false and fanciful story that Luckey was the brilliant inventor of VR technology who had developed that technology in his parents’ garage. In fact, that story was utterly and completely false: Luckey lacked the training, expertise, resources or know-how to create commercially viable VR technology, his computer programming skills were rudimentary, and he relied on ZeniMax’s computer program code and games to demonstrate the prototype Rift. Nevertheless, this fraudulent tale was frequently reported in the media as fact. Luckey increasingly and falsely held himself out to the media and the public as the visionary developer of the Rift’s VR technology, which had actually been developed by ZeniMax without any substantial contribution from Luckey.”

its weirder than that. Its only zenimax tech because john carmack, the guy who made doom, was working for zenimax when he developed it. so really the video game DOOM is responsible for a meme magic PAC

John Carmack won't be satisfied with FPS gaming until he's either created a holodeck or a Being John Malkovich machine.

What i don't understand is why carmack went to luckey. his prototype was basic and lovely - wouldn't carmack have done better on his own? or did he need luckey to support the narrative that this was a totally new thing, divorced from any of his work at zenimax?

Zenimax and Valve would not really commit to a VR product so Abrash and Carmack left their respective companies to go work for Oculus.

Valve then realized they hosed up and went all-in on the SteamVR effort. Zenimax still really dgaf.

Carmack is a genius at tech but is otherwise a libertarian dumbass, so he probably fit right in with Palmer Luckey, who by accounts was obsessively good and self-taught at tinkering with and learning about VR components.

thats what i have heard and it wouldnt surprise me. apparently "starting with nothing in a garage" was starting with 8 million in garage from his parents. i think Palmer is probaly hosed and devs are right to condem his bigoted rear end but some of the indies dropping support for the rift seems retardly hasty(on their part)
