Quote: "So yes, I understand why Mark is not getting the financial payoff here. Still, in all the hype in the press and elsewhere, shouldn’t the primary inventor of the technology at least be mentioned?"
You seem to be accepting the article's claim that Mark Bolas was the "primary inventor" very uncritically. The idea behind VR goggles is decades old and has been commercialized in the past in things like the Virtual Boy (1990s). I don't see what Dr. Bolas invented that was so interesting or novel, although his lab may have been good at throwing together prototypes cheaply.
The article asks for credit, not wealth split.
