After its acquisition Oculus about two years ago from Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg reportedly has problems, since he will have to appear in court on charges involving stolen technology and a false origin story.
The story of Oculus is supposed to begin when a young ambitious hacker, Palmer Luckey, creates a company with a minimal budget that today is one of the most valuable in the world. 
But ZeniMax, a company for game studios like Bethesda, and others, tells a different story. The lawsuit alleges that Oculus's origin story was "spread in the press by the fake and imaginative story of Luckey, who wants him to be a brilliant inventor of the virtual reality technology he developed in his parents' garage." In fact, this story was completely false. "
The company claims that John Carmack, who works as a designer and has developed huge titles such as Doom and Quake, has started the correspondence with Luckey 2012.
The lawsuit describes Luckey's device as "primitive" and credits Carmack with making it a viable product. According to ZeniMax, Luckey's "RIFT" device was a "crude prototype that lacked the head mount, the special software virtual reality, built-in motion sensors and other critical features for the capabilities needed to create a viable product.”
Carmack now claims that his employment contract allowed him to join Oculus because it was not a direct competitor to ZeniMax. So he claims he gave the idea to the CEO Robert Altman, in an effort to manufacture and sell the device. The company refused to invest in his idea to fund an early stage of Oculus, an investment that would have brought in tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars.
"Altman decided not to pursue the opportunity given to him by ZeniMax before the VR revolution," according to Carmack.
Prior to his departure from Oculus, and ZeniMax, Carmack reportedly stole thousands of records from the company (later used in the development of Oculus Rift). He also claims that Facebook knew about the stolen intellectual property before the acquisition of Oculus 2014.
Facebook, of course, denies any wrongdoing.
