His inventive spirit helped kickstart the modern VR revolution and helped build an industry. We're thankful for everything he did for Oculus and VR, and we wish him all the best."

I wonder if it was voluntary or involuntary.  

If it was voluntary, there must have been a pretty serious difference of opinion between what he wanted and where the company was going.  

I'm guessing the latter, but I wonder why.  At some point was figuring after the incident they were just going to let it go away quietly; and not worry about him after some point.
