Oculus VR and its founder Palmer Luckey has been sued by ZeniMax Media and id Software over claims the company illegally misappropriated trade secrets. The lawsuit, which was filed in a Texas court today, also accuses Palmer and company of breaching contract, and unfair competition.

Weeks later, letters from ZeniMax were sent to Oculus and Facebook, claiming video game programmer John Carmack (who worked for Oculus) used technology it had developed in-house.
