  • http://fortune.com/2016/09/24/palmer-lucky-backlash-oculus/ quote: "To understand the extremity of the response to Luckey’s political donation ... In other words, beyond supporting any particular candidate, Palmer Luckey has contributed, directly and knowingly, to the intentional degradation of American political discourse."
  • http://www.pcinvasion.com/orion-project-devs-support-oculus quote "With some developers wanting to distance themselves from Luckey, this is a different take on the situation."

  • https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-palmer-luckey-oculus-rift-lie-nimble-america/ quote: "And the truth is that Palmer Luckey -- the poster boy for a technology we've dreamed about for decades, the one we're trusting to build the future -- lied about what he did or didn't do."
  • http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/26/facebook-millionaire-luckey-aligns-himself-alt-right-but-only-if-you-squint/91132042/ quote: "And yet that laid-back California vibe masks right-leaning political views that have gotten Luckey into hot water of late, as some in the largely liberal tech sector call for the engineer’s head while developers vow to stop building programs for Oculus."
  • https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/27/vr-developers-oculus-rift-pro-trump-support quote: "Some developers were so appalled at Luckey’s actions that they pulled their support for Oculus, instead limiting their game releases to competitors including the Valve-backed HTC Vive and the Sony PlayStation VR."
  • https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2016/09/view-from-washington-palmer-luckey/ quote: "This weekend's rapid fall from grace of virtual reality (VR) pioneer Palmer Luckey shows again how dangerous the cult of personality is when it comes to high technology."
  • http://www.hngn.com/articles/208071/20160926/vr-game-developers-turn-away-oculus-palmer-luckey-suffers-backlash.htm quote: "Although many have acknowledged that Luckey is entitled to his own political actions, the backlash stems from the fact that his support and posting in "Nimble America" gives a clear view of his principles which seems to be grounded on racism, harassment, and cyberbullying."
  • http://www.businessinsider.com/palmer-luckey-jeopardizing-facebook-oculus-rift-2016-9 quote: "And this is where the issue of Luckey donating a relatively small sum of his millions to a political group becomes a liability for his employer, Facebook."

Change image of Palmer Luckey to his official headshot from the Anduril website. Professor907 (talk) 14:47, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: You haven't provided a link to the image you're referring to, but based on your description, it's presumably copyrighted. Wikipedia can only use non-free content if it meets certain criteria. The current infobox photo is freely-licensed, so a fair use photo wouldn't meet our criteria. crtbob@talk:~$ ls contribs 15:09, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
