> John Carmack got to make a living making Doom and Quake. Good for him. I think Carmack is a good example here in a discussion about chasing the feeling because I don't think he was in love with Doom as much as he was in love with tricking pixels into doing what he wanted (starting with the desktop Mario clone that evolved into Commander Keen). I base this assumption on the fact he's left the Doom franchise and is (or was last I checked) working in VR, figuring out how to trick pixels into doing what he wants again. I watched his Twitter account for a while, it was fun seeing what he was having fun with.
