The arms dealer\u2019s Game Boy company is reportedly in talks with potential new investors.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times<\/a> reports Palmer Luckey\u2019s ModRetro is in talks to raise funds at a $1 billion valuation, which sounds like a lot for a retro gaming company.<\/p>\n

The report also claims that Anduril, his other business selling drones and autonomous weapons<\/a> to the military, happens to be at the same time in talks with investors for a new funding round valuing it at $60 billion. Interesting.<\/p>\n
