"...the values of the company have changed..." - a polite way of saying "the founders sold out".

  Carmack didn't "sell out", he spent decades at id and was responsible for vast swathes of 3D technology and the open-sourcing of multiple cutting edge game engines. He went above and beyond what you could expect of anyone who cofounds a game development house and he is treated like a literal programming icon for good reason.

    "On June 24, 2009, ZeniMax Media acquired the company." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Software => sell out

      The selling of the company that you don't outright 100% own doesn't equate to the traditional meaning of "selling out".

  In this case it's more a polite way of saying "the founders got forced out" - or more bluntly: the idiots in charge managed to get rid of id's greatest asset.
