EPCOT Center in Disney World had solar powered robotic lawn mowers back in the early 90's, so this is hardly new.

The thing is the case isn't that simple, Zenimax has presented no evidense that even a single line of code in the Rift SDK is theres. Instead Zenimax's entire case revolves around the fact that John Carmack was helping Palmer Luckey with the Rift as a personal side project, Zenimax is claiming they own any and all code written/co-written/or consulted on by Carmack or any other Zenimax employee, even if said code writing/consulting was done on the employee's personal time. In others words, the entire suit is purely dick move by Zenimax.

Mantle came out in 2013 and there are exactly 10 games that support it, with no new games on the horizon. While Gameworks started in 2014, not including physx already has more than 10 games supporting various Gameworks elements, with more games on the way, and if we included all the physx games that have come out over the years, well, it would be a lot more. So no, Gameworks is doing quite nicely. Known by who? Psychics? Because I can't find any articles to verify that claim. If AMD's motives were purely altruistic, then why did they deny access to Intel or why did an AMD executive outright lie about there not being a new DirectX in the works? Why did AMD only open Mantle to the public after they had already completely stopped updating it? Literally the only thing AMD "pushed" was Microsoft's annoucement of DirectX 12. Mantle was neither a sandbox nor a playground, it was a stripped down version of DX12(of which AMD had privy to since MS works directly with hardware vendors to ensure compatibility) that they rushed to release in a vain attempt to gain marketshare and only made good on their promise of making it open after the looming release of DX12 killed all developer interest in it.

Of course DX12 won't end Mantle, the utter lack of games that support Mantle, ended Mantle. Mantle was a marketing stunt from the very beginning, its sole purpose was to make AMD look good and win "street cred" with gamers. "Look broz we innovated the shiz out of APIs!" *thug pose* When in reality Microsoft had been talking about wanting to implement lower level hardware access and reducing CPU overhead before there were even rumors of Mantle being a thing.
