That's exactly why Facebook handled this the way they did. Hide Luckey from the press for a few months until enough people forget about him as the the face of VR. Then it seems like a quiet footnote when he's finally cut loose. Your response is exactly what they were aiming for.

I... I have to lick a Switch game... just once to know what this terrible taste is.

This is my curse. This is my mission.

Wait just a minute. 8 Mars 2017?

MARTIAN. FUCKING. BATMAN. CONFIRMED.

Really digging it. Let's burn some emblems with fire and stuff!

@bones8677: Jabba is real, he is very powerful, and he's my friend.

@hunkulese: I got what you were inferring the first time. While Zenimax aren't paragons of virtue, I'm less inclined to think that they are making things up in their post-victory statement. They are almost certainly listing things that were sufficiently proven over the course of the lawsuit. Still, I'm all for reporters checking out the records for a less slanted take.

The source being... the judgement of a court of law after perusing countless documents and hearing hours of testimony?

Not that I'm joining the dogpile on Carmack.

But wow... Zenimax's option to now seek an injunction to stop Oculus headset sales... that could have a major effect on the health of the VR industry. And with all that money that Zenimax is going to get, Dishonored 3 is going to be FUCKING LIT. /jk

Indeed. The Southern Poverty Law Center are good peeps. They fought against Jim Crow laws for decades, were allies of Dr. Martin Luther King, and are still combating racial inequalities in the justice system today. Without going too into the weeds on this, the only folks who regularly criticize the SPLC are the "reverse racists are the real enemy" kind of crowd.

I'm mainly chiming in on this thread to commend @jeff and @danryckert for speaking out against the Muslim Ban on Twitter. This issue transcends politics into the realm of basic human decency, and I'm glad they took a stand. Mad respect to @alex who already had me scoping out my local DSA chapter.

Last word goes to Professor Killah:

As there's no sticky around saying no political/policy threads, it is most likely a coincidence that there's nothing like that active here right now.

I find the unfolding story of the Muslim Ban Executive Order to be a shameful horror show, but it just happens to be that most posters here are thinking about/trying to think about other things right now.
