Ein schöner Abschied sieht anders aus: ZeniMax, Mutterfirma von id Software, bezichtigt John Carmack der unerlaubten Mitnahme von Software zu Oculus VR:

It was only through the concerted efforts of Mr. Carmack, using technology developed over many years at, and owned by, ZeniMax, that Mr. Luckey was able to transform his garage-based pipe dream into a working reality.

Facebook, Mutterfirma von Oculus VR, sieht das ganze hingegen so:

It's unfortunate, but when there's this type of transaction, people come out of the woodwork with ridiculous and absurd claims. We intend to vigorously defend Oculus and its investors to the fullest extent.

Und was sagt John Carmack selber zu den Vorwürfen?

No work I have ever done has been patented. Zenimax owns the code that I wrote, but they don't own VR.

Tja, ganz einfach ist die Sache auf jeden Fall nicht. Es erweckt zumindest den Eindruck, dass man etwas vom großen Facebook-Geldkuchen abhaben möchte...
