Darvond: I've never seen a GOG ban firsthand, but you're in a hurry to test the system, it seems. Here you go. Archived.

He is/was the third primary fund source for the PAC, NimbleAmerica. Here is an article from the Guardian, a more mainstream source.

But the reality is, you could have just googled this yourself, but were afraid to face the reality of things.

Garrison72: You think I should get banned? I rarely call names here, but Breja's earned it. He's condescending as fuck, so I called him on it. Other than that...nothing. Downvote if you want. Lucky is backing shit posting, nothing more. It's harmless if you ignore it.
How accusatory and self-defending. I was simply implying that the ice you tread upon is quite thin; not pointing a ptchfork at you.

Looks like Facebook CEO just had a chat with him:

"I am deeply sorry that my actions are negatively impacting the perception of Oculus and its partners.The recent news stories about me do not accurately represent my views.

Here’s more background: I contributed $10,000 to Nimble America because I thought the organization had fresh ideas on how to communicate with young voters through the use of several billboards. I am a libertarian who has publicly supported Ron Paul and Gary Johnson in the past, and I plan on voting for Gary in this election as well.

I am committed to the principles of fair play and equal treatment. I did not write the "NimbleRichMan" posts, nor did I delete the account. Reports that I am a founder or employee of Nimble America are false. I don’t have any plans to donate beyond what I have already given to Nimble America.

Still, my actions were my own and do not represent Oculus. I’m sorry for the impact my actions are having on the community."

So there you go: No dissent. He's sorry. Back to the flock he goes.

tinyE: And yes, I overdid it with SS 2. It just seems so many people swear it is one of the best games ever which always freaks me out a little.
I agree. I quite enjoyed the game back when it was new and when I replayed it when it got re-released here, but to call it one of "the best of all time"? Nope. Age hasn't really done it a favor either.

Garrison72: So there you go: No dissent. He's sorry. Back to the flock he goes.
Except that's absolutely laughable (akin to trying to cover elephant defecation with kitty litter) and contradicts what he said to TheDailyBeast, along with all those phresh memes he's liked and wot his girlfriend posted before nuking her twitter.

(IE: https://i.imgur.com/3V8c4Sj.png https://i.imgur.com/QItN8LL.png )

And it'd be quite weird for a publication to just up and pull something like this, considering they were the ones who broke it. So, one of the two parties is PANTS ON FIRE.

But I'm not sure why a publication of any sort would want to open themselves up for the worlds easiest libel case.

Lin545: He looks jewish to me. Anything is better than Lipton!
Don't know if Palmer Luckey's jewish - according to this they don't like Trump. Which is kind of odd since Trumps daughter is married to one and has converted (which is impossible since, like Hinduism, you must be born into that religion) and like most politicians and obscenely wealthy people Trump's surrounded by jewish minders/advisers/henchmen/hangers on etc and he "... supports Israel 1000% ... ". I guess there's no pleasing (((some people))). Not really very surprising!

yogsloth: I own some Burzum CDs.

Might be bad news for me.
Can we turn this into a Burzum praise thread?

If not, then Varg Vikernes is mai waifu.

tinyE: Just to repeat for the slow people: Now that I think about it, and I'm as guilty of this as anyone else, I'm sick of anyone preaching anything in here period, unless it pertains to games, sports, or DRM! :D

1) SS 2 is overrated crap
2) The Patriots are the team to beat
3) Blizzard can blow me
I've said it before and I'll say it again. That's why Gog needs subforums.

To answer your question seriously:
From what I can figure, it seems like this Palmer guy, who invented the Oculus Rift, has been using some of his money to support an organization dedicated to posting pro-Trump memes. The OP seems to think this indicates that he's a white supremacist due to the nature of these individuals (if you want to see the type of attitude they show, try browsing around a website like FunnyJunk). Personally, from what I'm seeing, it doesn't look like he's done anything wrong other than waste his money funding "shitposters".
Here's the same news from a couple other different, possibly more reputable, sources:

Thanks! Seems you're right. This guy donated to this scummy looking company that supports the meme on the wrong side of history. Reading the title I thought he was some closet KKK member or something. Guess ''white supremacist'' too has fallen into the meaning of ''you disagree with me''.

This is also just sad to see what is supposed to be the enlightened science and fact believing left wing bypass facts again and again to stir up fear like the right has done many times. I swear this is nothing better than doing what the far right does but just replacing ''Muslim'' with ''White Supremacist''. And they don't even realize it. The recent Pepe debacle made me understand how loose the screws really are on the ''sane'' side of the American political spectrum and those who support it.

Such is the wonderful world of the liberal vs. conservative fight.
"You're bigots, homophobes, and supremacists!"
"You're a bunch of degenerate scum who want to drive us into chaos!"
All talk. No action. For years and years. It's never on facts, it's all on whatever the majority is.

Pepe debacle? I'm aware of the Pepe the Frog meme that circulated around Tumblr for some time, but what are you referencing?

Hillary and many leftie media claims Pepe is a white nationalist symbol.
