Perhaps the whole "We'll support D3" thing was a trade for tech, and since it was canceled the deal was null and void?  Not sure what copyrights & TM's Oculus would of used (I would of figured patents).  I don't remember reading they were working with Zeni/Beth except for D3/John Carmack when id was sold.  Or perhaps it was that Oculus used D3/id TM's to sell units & then never delivered.

Not sure how it's a more reliable link, but it does have a link to the case file (besides that's it no more info then my link, but lots of fluff), and it does say that was the issue: the stuff JC did while @ id to help with Oculus was id's & Oculus took it when he left w/o permission.  So I'm guessing that was the deal: id help's with the tech & they get first dibs in showcasing the tech.  Oculus got JC & then ditched the deal.
