Based on your timeline, the shenanigans that Zenimax sued over happened after the day the contract date for Carmack to quit was allowed. Therefore, Carmack fulfilled his part of the contract; he worked with Zenimax until the contract date. Anything after that is irrelevant. So, in my eyes, they owe him his due. Unless they are going to try to say that he started the shenanigans before the contract date and was doing such work in bad faith which might terminate the contract based on whatever clauses it may have to cover such things. Which is always possible, but I'd like to see how they prove it.
