ZeniMax alleges John Carmack stole "thousands of documents" developing Oculus

[Administrator]

ZeniMax - the parent company of publisher Bethesda Softworks (itself the parent company of id Software) alleges that Doom co-creator John Carmack stole thousands of files from the company to developer the Oculus Rift.
That ZeniMax is suing Oculus is nothing new. The two companies have been locking horns since May 2014 when Zeminax alleged that Carmack developed the Oculus Rift with Palmer Luckey using tech obtained through ZeniMax back when Carmack was still with the company. This legal dispute went public shortly after Oculus VR was purchased by Facebook for an astounding $2bn - the timing of which raised some eyebrows.
