It really baffles me why Carmack took the data with him because surely he must've known it's going to cause trouble. Or maybe he and the Oculus folks just thought it's not going to be a big deal. I mean, if Oculus failed, ZeniMax probably wouldn't have been very interested, and considering the success Oculus has seen so far, $500 million probably isn't THAT bad. |
I think that although Carmack's ex employee non disclosure was an issue ,the bigger issue was his selling ID to Zenimax and that means all their IP and it's all on record , and not facing the fact that it's not yours to use carte-blanche any longer even though you may have created it . It wasn't like a Company sueing some guy who's hobby hit pay dirt ,while he worked for them.
