According to ZeniMax used the Oculus code that was stolen from them. Oculus was founded in 2012 and sold to Facebook two years later for 2.3 billion dollars.

the Oculus' founder is ordered to pay 50 million dollars – about 414 million for the current course – as a former Oculus chief must pay 10 million dollars.

ZeniMax had set forth the requirements for a total of 4 billion dollars in damages. Even though they get far less than this, the company is pleased with the victory in court in Texas.
