Palmer Luckey leaves Facebook

Palmer Luckey, the co-founder of Oculus VR and creator of the original Oculus Rift headset, is leaving parent company Facebook today as reported by UploadVR.

The departure isn’t too much of a surprise considering the controversy that has dogged Luckey over the past year.

In September he was revealed to have donated $10,000 to a pro-Trump group while Facebook was ordered to pay Zenimax $250m in February due to Luckey’s use of allegedly stolen tech to build the Oculus.
