Meta is gargantuan compared to 2009-2013 Bethesda, which frankly seems like a golden handcuffs-era footnote in Carmack's professional history. He isn't even mentioned once in Bethesda's wikipedia page[0]...
Oculus seemed far more apropos for a get-shit-done guy like Carmack. Personally I think FB acquiring him/Oculus was an almost certain shitty outcome for the VR technology.
But I'm glad Carmack surely refilled the piggy bank in the process. I look forward to seeing what he manages to do free of the FB/Meta albatross with gas in the tank.

- djur 4y agoIt's confusing because the recent Doom games were developed by Id and published by Bethesda Softworks, and both of them are subsidiaries of Zenimax. Bethesda Softworks is just a publisher; the games Bethesda is best known for (The Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3+) are by Bethesda Game Studios.
