A judge has awarded ZeniMax and id Software half a billion dollars after an ongoing lawsuit against Oculus, where the court found that Oculus and its founder, Palmer Luckey, did violate a non-disclosure agreement. It was also deemed that Oculus VR was not guilty of misappropriating trade secrets, which ZeniMax had alleged in the same lawsuit.

Since this lawsuit took a few years, it might be hard to fully understand the timeline of everything that happened and why Oculus is paying for breaking the NDA and copyright infringement, despite not being guilty of the worst of the accusations, misappropriating trade secrets. Here’s a short overview of everything that has led up to the lawsuit, what exactly the lawsuit was about, and the end results.
