As reported by PC Gamer on Tuesday, June 10, Oculus Rift developer Oculus VR has swiped up another employee–this one being Naughty Dog’s co-founder Jason Rubin.
Earlier on this month we reported that the former boss of Valve’s Steam client Jason Holtman joined Oculus VR as “Head of Platform” , and Rubin will now be leading the company’s first-party development efforts. According to PC Gamer, he will step into the role of head of worldwide studios.
” There have only been a handful of times in my life where I saw something that I knew would change everything, ” Rubin said in a statement. ” The awe-inspiring tech Oculus is building is a portal into an incredible world that my daughter will one day consider to be normal. The moment I put it on, I wanted to help define that future. ”
ZeniMax Media, parent company behind Bethesda Softworks, id Software and Machine Games, issued a legal threat against Oculus Rift developer Oculus VR back in May, demanding that the company would have to pay the ZeniMax an undetermined amount of money due to a former employee–John Carmack–helping to improve the device.
However, even with Oculus VR refuting ZeniMax’s claims , the company later officially filed suit against the Oculus Rift developer .
