Curious why you think he “has every reason to stick it to Zuck.” Zuck gave him an exit that never would have given him the notoriety he has now. I was one of the first 200 to kickstart the Rift back in the day and there is a very real chance that Oculus would be dead now if not for the Facebook/Meta acquisition. He got his money, which he rolled into a meme company and a defense technology company. Other than petty spite or ego, why does he feel the need to “stick it to Zuck” now? [Edit: Just realized he was fired by Facebook. So I guess it’s just a petty personal vendetta.]

>[Edit: Just realized he was fired by Facebook. So I guess it’s just a petty personal vendetta.] Here's an interview he did with Aarthi and Sriram from a16z ~6 months ago ([0] Palmer Luckey: selling Oculus for $2b and what he saw in the Ukraine war). Refreshing for a founder to be honest. [0]: https://youtu.be/dMhVrYhQUsk?t=1730 https://youtu.be/dMhVrYhQUsk?t=1730
