"We are highly confident that Oculus products are built on Oculus technology. The idea that Oculus products are based on someone else’s technology is just wrong." - Mark Zuckerberg testifying in court.
Facebook's very own Mark Zuckerberg gave his testimony this Tuesday in the legal battle between Oculus VR and ZeniMax. If you need a refresher (2, 3, 4) I suggest you check out those previous threads. Zuckerberg claims that no theft happened from ZeniMax. In fact, Zuckerberg claims to have never heard of ZeniMax before.
"It is pretty common when you announce a big deal or do something that all kinds of people just kind of come out of the woodwork and claim that they just own some portion of the deal. Like most people in the court, I’ve never even heard of ZeniMax before."
A lawyer for ZeniMax used their questioning time to suggest that Facebook rushed through their initial review of Oculus before deciding to purchase the virtual reality company. In response to a line of questions from Facebook's lawyers, Zuckerberg said that the company spends "weeks, months, or even years thinking about the issues that lead it to make acquisitions." However, he also goes on to say that he believes that negotiating deals quickly is important in an industry full of competitors looking to do the same.
