Palmer Luckey is asking Reddit if he can purchase Vive from HTC

And that’s it. No context. No musings. He’s simply curious “what the response from r/Oculus [and r/Vive – he cross-posted to each] will likely be.”

“Is this a shitpost? I know palmer loves a good shitpost, but I can’t tell,” asks one confused Reddit-er, whereas one other insists: “It would be the greatest meme in VR history. Please do it.” Many of others say certain, however “please don’t sell it to Facebook.”

Regrettably, Luckey’s not replied to any of the commenters simply but. We’ll hold you posted if that adjustments, although. 

Palmer Luckey bought Oculus to Facebook three years in the past for over $2 billion, however walked away from the company in March. Luckey co-founded Oculus and has all the time been the general public face of the corporate, serving to with the early prototypes, and even hand-delivering the primary client equipment to a pre-order purchaser in Alaska.

Oh, and right here a reminder that he as soon as cosplayed Metal Gear Solid 5’s Quiet. You’re welcome.
