Polytron and Kokoromi have confirmed that they have cancelled their planned release of SUPERHYPERCUBE for Oculus VR following the news that Oculus founder, Palmer Luckey, is a piece of shit (not their words).You may have seen the news yesterday that ties Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey to Nimble America, a Trump-endorsing organization Luckey started to defame Clinton via "the power of Internet memes".
In a political climate as fragile and horrifying as this one, we cannot tacitly endorse these actions by supporting Luckey or his platform.
In light of this, we will not be pursuing Oculus support for our upcoming VR release, SUPERHYPERCUBE.

Polytron is just one of the growing number of developers that have pulled their support of the Oculus Rift since yesterday. SUPERHYPERCUBE is currently slated to be a launch title for the PlayStation VR.

Insomniac Games, a studio that currently has an exclusive contract with Oculus, also issued a statement today that somewhat condemns what Luckey has done.
"Insomniac Games condemns all forms of hate speech. While everyone has a right to express his or her political opinion, the behavior and sentiments reported do not reflect the values of our company. We are also confident that this behavior and sentiment does not reflect the values of the many Oculus employees we work with on a daily basis."
