After its acquisition Oculus πριν από περίπου δύο χρόνια από Facebook, ο Mark Zuckerberg φέρεται να έχει problems, since he will have to appear in court on charges involving stolen technology and a false origin story.
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. 
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 raw prototype that lacked a head mount, special virtual reality software, built-in motion sensors and other critical features for the features required for to create a sustainable product. ”
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 given to him by ZeniMax before the VR revolution," according to Carmack.
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.
Selection of the jury consisting of a group of nine jury (three men and six women) began on Monday. ZeniMax seeks to earn billions of dollars as compensation for 2.
