Reddit, a long love story for Palmer Luckey

A little less known in France, the Reddit site is however, in many areas, technological or not, a real reference in the USA. For Palmer Luckey, it's a bit of a homecoming since he has been attending the forum for many years now. It is enough to take a look at his account to realize that he participates in a particularly assiduous way. The vast majority (if not all) of its interventions are of course related to virtual reality.



His most important “happening” was undoubtedly in 2015. He then took part in an “IAMA” (Ask Me Anything: ask me what you want in French) with Internet users. An exercise to which personalities like Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Snoop Dog or Arnold Schwarzenegger have already complied. For the young entrepreneur, this had of course been the opportunity to present the Oculus Rift and to say more about his vision of virtual reality.
