Palmer Luckey has always been an interesting case to me since I can't figure out how a guy smart enough to build the stuff he has can be so incredibly dumb and out of touch with humanity when it comes to stuff like this.
Another way to think of it is as another variant of "success hides failure", although in this case it's his business successes hiding his personal failures from himself. It's like the pattern of conceited or arrogant people so often being deeply insecure- ironic but sad, and really obvious from the outside looking in, but not at all apparent to the individual.
