After the acquisition of Oculus two years ago from Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is reported to have problems, since he has to appear in court for charges of stolen technology and a false history of origin.
The story of Oculus supposedly begins when a young ambitious hacker Palmer Luckey, creates a company with a minimal budget that today one of the most valuable in the world. 
Η ZeniMax όμως μια εταιρεία για game studios όπως το Bethesda, και άλλα, λέει μια διαφορετική ιστορία. Η αγωγή ισχυρίζεται ότι η ιστορία προέλευσης του Oculus "διαδίδεται στον Τύπο από την ψευδή και ευφάνταστη ιστορία που Luckey, που τον θέλει λαμπρό εφευρέτη της τεχνολογίας της εικονικής πραγματικότητας που την είχε αναπτύξει στο γκαράζ των γονιών του. Στην πραγματικότητα, αυτή η ιστορία ήταν εντελώς απολύτα ψευδή."
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 the device του Luckey σαν "πρωτόγονη" και πιστώνει τον Carmack για το ότι έγινε ένα βιώσιμο προϊόν. Σύμφωνα με τη ZeniMax, η συσκευή "RIFT" του Luckey ήταν ένα "ακατέργαστο πρωτότυπο που του έλειπε η συσκευή για το κεφάλι (head mount), το ειδικό software εικονικής πραγματικότητας, οι ενσωματωμένοι αισθητήρες κίνησης και άλλα κρίσιμα χαρακτηριστικά για τις δυνατότητες που απαιτούνται για να δημιουργήσουν ένα βιώσιμο προϊόν."
Carmack claims today that his employment contract allowed him to join Oculus, as he was not a direct competitor of ZeniMax. So he claims he gave the idea to CEO Robert Altman in an effort to build and sell the device. The company refused to invest in the idea of financing an early stage of Oculus, an investment that would have brought dozens, or hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Altman decided not to pursue the opportunity ZeniMax was giving him before the VR revolution," according to Carmack's filing.
Prior to his departure from Oculus, and ZeniMax, Carmack reportedly stole thousands archives by the company (which were later used in the development of the Oculus Rift). It also claims that Facebook knew about the stolen intellectual property before it acquired Oculus in 2014.
Facebook, of course, denies any wrongdoing.
Her choice reviewof the commission which will consist of a panel of nine jurors (three men and six women) began on Monday. ZeniMax is seeking $2 billion in damages.
