google
- vessenes 13y agoYep, those would be the two companies you'd have bidding. Except, Carmack is too heavy metal to go to Google. I only partly jest.
- kposehn 13y agoCarmack is definitely too heavy metal for google :)
- fernandotakai 13y agotbh, of all companies, i would never say "carmack is going to facebook".

Would work well with gaming, education, eventually business, mobile and so on. $2b a few months ago would've been a small price to pay to get in early on this, unless they have something comparable up their sleeves from the research division.

- barbs 13y agoValve
