Oculus's $500 million compensation may affect the development of the VR industry
Everyone hates lawsuits. Litigation is a dirty thing, stealing the peace of your mind and getting you involved in law firms and courts. Especially when you have to pay $500 million for the outcome of the lawsuit, it will be even more painful. This unfortunately fell on Oculus's head, when the jury ordered Oculus to need ZeniMax to pay $500 million. However, experts believe that in addition to this huge sum, the case may still plague the VR industry for some time. In the submitted document, ZeniMax stated: Oculus uses ZeniMax's hardware and software technology to create software development kits for Rift and to develop, modify and debug Rift hardware. Luckey does not have the expertise or knowledge to create a viable SDK. According to ZeniMax, Rift is an important part of Facebook's virtual reality, developed by Palmer Luckey and a group of others, and what they all have in common is "jumping from ZeniMax to Oculus." Palmer Luckey was also accused of violating the confidentiality agreement between him and ZeniMax. The jury did find evidence to support the latter and ordered Oculus to pay ZeniMax $500 million in compensation. But things are far from over. Although Oculus is considering the above mentioned resolution, ZeniMax may request that Rift be banned from being sold in the market. If ZeniMax's ban application is passed, it will affect not only Oculus, but the entire VR industry. The court may consider the ban because ZeniMax can think that the damage caused by Oculus may be far more than $500 million. If ZeniMax is not willing to let go, then this will have an immeasurable impact on Oculus. For a big company like Facebook, $500 million is just a slap in the face, if it can continue to use the vr technology involved without having to agree with ZeniMax. Stephanie Llamas, vice president of product research and strategy at SuperData Analytics, told 913VR: The two technology companies that the public saw, Facebook and ZeniMax caused legal proceedings because of Oculus. Before 2015, no one had heard of ZeniMax and Oculus. In the end, although $500 million is not a small amount, it is a victory for Facebook, considering that Facebook can continue to develop Oculus in the future without paying ZeniMax for future income. Since the disclosure of the acquisition, Facebook has paid nearly $3 billion to the company, which they believe will earn several times, and $500 million is just the beginning. However, once the judge believes the ban is a serious threat, it is likely that the two companies will sit down and negotiate. VR is still in its infancy, and although the popularity is full of light, there is no shortcut to the path to growth and maturity. Therefore, any practice that shakes the industry or seems to affect VR penetration is harmful. The Oculus VS ZeniMax case is far from over. Unless these companies try to reach a settlement, it may have a negative impact on the entire industry before the end of the lawsuit.
