No kidding. You want to keep a guy like Carmack in the family in whatever capacity you can, because he carries such deep respect in the industry. It was a stupid thing for ZeniMax to burn that bridge.
- screye 6y agoCarmack's pull as an individual among tech folks, is unrivaled in gaming. I can bet that many people would willingly taken pay cuts (or more-likely skipped on pay bumps) to work for a team led by Carmack. Almost all of the other pop-culture figures in game development such as Todd Howard, Kojima and the like are designers, producers or story writers. Carmack is the only one that is a proper coding guy. ______ Maybe Carmack comes back to lead Windows mixed reality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and PCVR ? True wishful thinking right here.
