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

Yeah, forgot about that. Such Faustian clauses are evil, and shouldn't be possible in the first place.

Nevertheless, this doesn't look like a Non-Compete Agreement violation, or we would probably have seen those words in the article. My guess is, Carmack haven't signed one (75% probability).

I agree that Carmack probably didn't not sign one. But they are very common among companies in the tech sector and they can be just as horrible as you imagine.
