Palmer Luckey, the co-founder of Oculus, who ended up selling his shares for a meer $2 billion USD, was set for life after selling his shares in his company, and he decided stay within the parent company Facebook. Now, he's left the company, and Facebook has provided IGN with the following statement:
"Palmer will be dearly missed. Palmer's legacy extends far beyond Oculus. His inventive spirit helped kickstart the modern VR revolution and build an industry. We're thankful for everything he did for Oculus and VR, and we wish him all the best."
It's currently unclear whether Luckey left by his own accord, or was fired. Both possibilities exist, as Palmer became a subject of controversy last year, when it was discovered he had funded a group thought to be behind anti-Hillary Clinton imagery, and later he was accused of breaking an NDA in the Oculus vs. Zenimax court case.
Is Oculus one of the most important VR headsets?
