I can't help but notice that the days are continuous, with not many (two day) gaps in between.

  It was a start-up where he was a founder and major shareholder, and Quake was his own pet project, so of course he worked nearly 7 days/week. Not only was the future of the company at stake but he also enjoyed doing it. Then AAA game studios saw this and thought that game devs just love working 7 days/week for peanuts even if it's on other people's companies and other people's projects.

    > Not only was the future of the company at stake but he also enjoyed doing it. The business concerns were not a major factor for Carmack. He was against expanding the business and the company was making plenty of money with a lot of cash to spare. They had other projects other than Quake that were making them money. Had he really cared about the health of the business, he wouldn't have lashed out so much at other developers working on things other than Quake. He simply thought the company should basically work on one project at a time.
