Do you think id was an "ethical company"?

  Whataboutism at its best. Why do you think id was not ethical, and are you seriously trying to argue that Facebook is as unethical as id software?

    > Whataboutism at its best. The poster suggested joining facebook was a new low in character for Carmack. So this is hardly "whataboutism" > are you seriously trying to argue that Facebook is as unethical as id software I guess it depends on what your concerns about Facebook are. Did id treat employees well? Did it produce products that made that world a better place? In the 90s there was just as much bad media and controversy surrounding Doom and violent video games as there is around Facebook. Just to clarify, I am not trying to compare them point for point. Just surprised that anyone would take issue with Carmack participating at FB. The guy is primarily known for making edgy entertainment products, not elementary schools. I don't have a problem with either.
