Not quite the reason for the fine according to TFA:
> Instead, it ruled that Luckey, who was working as a contractor for Zenimax before starting the Kickstarter for the Oculus Rift headset, violated his non-disclosure agreement,
- doctorpangloss 10y agoIn my personal opinion, whether or not Luckey violated the NDA is a little academic. Clearly, the $3 billion acquisition occurred on the reputation of John Carmack, who was poached. I don't think you should charge $500 million for a poaching. That's the crux of my anticompetitiveness argument. Nonetheless, you definitely shouldn't charge $500 million for merely violating an NDA, even if that's what the jury found.

- pzxc 10y agoTFA stands for The Featured Article and always has, though I can understand your misapprehension because of RTFM which does use F as you suggest.
- gpderetta 10y agoIt is as if they are different people!
- sundvor 10y agoTFA has long history, and the OP should be right to use it without anyone getting hurt.
- funnyfacts365 10y agoThank you all for the downvotes for asking a serious question that was really bugging me. I even bet the ones who downvoted didn't even took the time to answer. Cheers!
