No need, I'd wager Carmack and friends are plenty good at their own game.

- palish 15y agoHmm? Bethesda didn't make Quake, if that's what you're saying...
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoBethesda bought id in '09, so yes they do.
- palish 15y agoEr, okay. That seems unrelated since they never "made Quake" and likely have little/no influence over Carmack himself. But oh man: Carmack vs Notch. Imagine it. Nevermind, I hope Bethesda can somehow persuade/pressure/bribe/extort Carmack into that. Because... C'mon. Carmack vs Notch.
- lostmypw 15y agoBoth Bethesda and id are subsidiaries of Zenimax[1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenimax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenimax
- gobongo 15y agoHaving played against some id software people back in the Quake 2 and q3demo days, they were far less good at the games than one might naively expect, at least when compared to hardcore gamers. Knowing the internals of the game and the map designs is no substitute for playing the game for hundreds of hours against other top competitors.
- aw3c2 15y agoThey suck (sic! :) ) badly compared to remotely professional players. Tim Willits even said so himself just recently on Quakecon.
