And the book Ready Player One in turn inspired Palmer Luckey during his Oculus building journey, and was a recommended read for new team members (according to the great book The History of the Future, which itself has a foreword by Ready Player One's author).

The whole big story can be read in The History of the Future by Blake J. Harris https://www.amazon.com/History-Future-Facebook-Revolution-Virtual/dp/0062455966

An entire book, The History of the Future comes out tomorrow. It will cover this and the rest of Oculus's history. Supposedly it's really detailed. My copy isn't expected to get here until next Monday :(

No, he was forced out. The details are pretty interesting — someone wrote a book about it (among other things).

I was just joking about making him moderator though.

Just finished a great book (The History of the Future) about history of Oculus (Palmer Lucky).

I thought it was worth a read and gave good insight into the founding of company and history between Oculus/Valve/ID Software and others in the early early days of VR.

It leaves a sour taste in my mouth as well.. It may have happened too.. may have to read a book to find out. or maybe not... Ugh.. I mean it says.. it's detailed in that book. dunno though.
