I get that, but "- Carmack was enthralled with VR." and "two of Zenimax's board members are Cal Ripken, Jr. (hall of fame baseball player) and Robert S. Trump - brother to our current president." seem to have as much to do with this as what I had for lunch today. You're speculating in excruciating detail about Zenimax's legal strategy on the basis of...? I'm no lawyer, perhaps you are and have some greater insight into this that I'm missing.

Wut?

The "fun facts" he listed re: the board members were just that - interesting tidbits (that I was personally intrigued to find out) but yes, not relevant to other aspects of the case.

The fact that "Carmack was enthralled with VR" is very much relevant to the story of why Carmack decided to spend so much effort (apparently using some Zenimax's resources according to the post) to work on technology that at the time wasn't immediately relevant to what Zenimax was doing.

I'm completely convinced by 'Wut', I guess.

If he wanted to bring emotion into it, he should have just gone straight to how Zenimax Founder Robert Altman ousted Bethesda's original founder: http://www.courts.state.md.us/businesstech/pdfs/mdbt7_04_opi... (PDF)
