The three-week trial between ZeniMax and Oculus Rift is nearing an end. With the accusations that Oculus stole the software code for their VR tech, ZeniMax attorney Anthony Sammi asked the Dallas jury to rule against Facebook. Apart from that, a total of $4 billion is also requested for the damages and compensation.

According to Polygon, attorney Sammi argued that Facebook should be paying $2 billion as compensation and another $2 billion for punitive damages. ZeniMax continues to say that Oculus Rift, which was bought by Facebook on 2014, cannot be developed by Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey on his own. Instead, John Carmack helped.

John Carmack was a former employee of ZeniMax Medial LLC, a game development company, according to Law360. Apparently, it was with Carmack's help that Oculus Rift was able to create its technology and that technology originally came from ZeniMax. Sammi has drawn that conclusion with the help of email exchanges between the engineers of Oculus and Carmack.

Another point attorney Sammi led was Luckey was only a hobbyist and not a software professional. They believed that he won't be able to build Oculus on his own.

On the issue of stolen technologies, ZeniMax' side believes that if Oculus was able to find resources about virtual reality online and in libraries, plenty of other companies would follow and create their own, as well. Therefore, Sammi argues that the information belongs somewhere else. Apparently, that somewhere was from ZeniMax and their Rage VR testbed, as well as with Doom 3 BFG Edition.

Meanwhile, Oculus and their attorney, Beth Wilkinson, also refuted their argument. According to Wilkinson, the lawsuit was only due to ZeniMax jealousy, anger and embarrassment. She also called out the company for belittling Oculus and quoting the plaintiffs as they called Oculus a group of "clowns" and the Rift "stupid." The case is still ongoing.
