Comment on John Carmack's former employer claims he stole tech for Oculus VR when he left

Comments

Hmm...sounds quite hairy, and quite likely that Carmack did, to some extent, leverage existing proprietary id software to assist in developing Rift's SDK or whatever before he left. I mean, who wouldn't? But at the same time, you'd think someone like Carmack would be aware of the murkiness of using company IP to make something...and then taking that something to another company.

This looks more like typical tech lawyer company bullshit where they claim that to basically own your brain while you're employed including anything you did during your time off.
