Carmack's actions in light of the pattern of Oculus acquiring tech from valve in shady ways can't be seen as anything other than just another guy betraying his former employer for oculus.
A giant stain on his reputation for anyone who can see just how oculus was built.
- wly_cdgr 5y agoI read that thread and it has insider reports about how Valve chose to give its tech away to Oculus. How is that Oculus' fault? Also don't see the issue with Carmack. Code you write ethically belongs to you, no matter what the law or your employment contract says
- LegitShady 5y ago"valve" is a company made of people. Some people in valve pushed for valve to give away the tech to oculus, and then those same people left valve for oculus. That's not innocent. It's unethical. Code you write under contract to an employer doesn't belong to you. Someone paid you for that.
