"You can't say for certain people tied with the Vive aren't ALSO terrible" is not the same thing as knowing you can.

Or that a lead staffer on Mass Effect Andromeda is a racist.

Everyone is better off not looking too closely at the people who are involved with what we like.

If you think those tweets from Manveer are racist or show racism you are flat out wrong and need to take a step back and reflect on your beliefs.

If it was a white person saying that kind of stuff he would have been fired a long time ago and the Internet would have gone nuts.

You're probably right but there is a difference. This isn't the time nor place to get into why an ethnic minority poking fun at white privilege is different then a caucasian poking fun at minority groups.

To get this back to Palmer Luckey my two cents is that he has openly (proudly?) supported racist groups; this either makes him a racist or someone who uses racism to further his goals (the second one is probably worse).

Also can anyone explain to me what an Alt-Right is.

It's just a stupid new moniker for people that disagree with the left, comprised of 4chan, GamerGate, certain subreddits. They're all being thrown under that.

Apparently it's a white supremacist thing too which seems to be the word people enjoy throwing around this year.

are you going to keep giving this completely wrong explanation in every thread about this?

Your way or the highway eh?

@jay_ray:Do you have any idea how incredibly illegal it would be to fire someone based on their political views?

Not illegal at all.

Wowzers, that's pretty surprising. Thanks for the info

It's not just political views, Palmer can be Republican/pro-Trump and support Trump's campaign and while I may disagree at the end of the day it is just que sera sera. However what Palmer is supporting is racism which makes him a racist or an exploiter of racism which maybe worse.

This could potentially force Facebook's hand to part ways.

All smoking rules should apply to vaping, so in that frame of reference yes vaping and smoking are the same thing.

@frytup: I invite you to look through the comments section on Austin's article on the PlayStation Neo. And that's just one example.

I don't think you could be further off on this one.

Given the story I would say Patrick and Austin's Neo reports are entirely different. Engadget only had pictures of an Xbox One prototype, nothing else. They didn't know about the price, the actual performance, or the no used games aspect. Sure it wasn't announced but everyone knew a new Xbox was coming out that fall. The Neo leaks by Austin had facts about the actual performance of the hardware and Patrick's info was they were doing a half step mid console (something no one knew was coming).

Without being an expert (and a Canadian), I am pretty sure that it would work like this: There is a NoClip company where Danny would send Patreon funds to, then he could use the funds to buy equipment, do payroll, etc. Danny would pay personal income on what NoClip pays him, and NoClip pays taxes with a ton of small business deductions which will probably be close to $0. This way should create the best tax situation, which should be a similar process in other countries.

Consoles will mimic the phone market, every 2 years you'll get a refresh. The average user will skip one or two cycles, new systems support the older games, and by the time a system is 3 (or so) cycles old new games won't be playable.
