Hes good at one thing, code. The problem with this is, when hes in charge, shits bad. He hated doom 3's engine. He didnt even want to do it or ship it. In fact, Doom 3's engine is the 4th engine he did JUST for doom 3 and his co-owners told him to stop making engines for id and just focus on making the doom 3 engine and he could fix it later (he never could 'fix' it).

He also doesnt understand what makes games fun. Romero was the perfect yang to his ying. Romero needed someone to tell him to focus and stop coming up with ideas and carmack needs someone to tell him to stop focusing on the tech side and focus on what the game needs to be perfect. This is why its so sad that he loves the "take my ball and go home" shit he pulls. If one of his co-owners makes him mad, he would threaten to just leave if they didnt get forced out. And thats just the co-owners. He fired normal employees left and fucking right. The 3 guys who went to Hollenshead and (I believe it was) Willits and pitched them doom 3 (and got the backing of most of id, including ALL of the co-owners sans carmack) all got fired right after doom 3 got approved, and all 3 by carmack himself.

hes a great coder with 0 vision and 0 imagination . He, like romero, desperately needs someone to direct him and say no to him, but also like romero, refuses to have that person. Dont play down the groundbreaking work he did, but dont make it seem like hes this amazing guru when hes just 1 of 4 cogs who created perfect storms.

And yet for all that, Anita was ranked higher for influence in the gaming industry.

Carmack? More like Carhack. He should probably kill himself since he worked so hard only to be shown up by a girl who doesn't even play games, much less know how to make them. Not to mention hes at the end of his career, and Anita is only beginning.

Spoonfeeding trooper reporting in.

n is standard notation for sequences/series within mathematics, it's used to denote a variable quantity like x does within algebra, however where x can be a random blot of numbers, n is used to denote a logical progression like n+1, n+2, n+3 etc., "nth" makes sense here since the amount of times VR have been tried would follow a logical progression too, with nth denoting the greatest value (or rather an unspecified ordinal number) or in other words: The most recent

Carmack is a smart fucker, but he hasn't been relevant since consumer 3D graphics acceleration.

Real-time software renderers with BSPs was some pretty hot shit in the Pentium era, but Doom 3 hard shadows and Rage Megatextures were pretty underwhelming.

musk got rich off paypal and mooched his way into government cheese. He doesn't do any real engineering. He uses governmentbux to buy smart dudes.

Carmack, on the other hand, continues to code on a daily basis and the shit he's working on makes it into consumer products. To me, that's far more respectable than what Musk does.

Carmack has an extremely high "my ball, my rules or I go home" mentality.

Romero was the one who wanted multiplayer, pushed for a net code, pushed for online matches, coined the term deathmatch, frag, etc. He would play with the community daily and kept doom and id in the public eye of the fans and the gaming community (ie, he was a very dedicated community manager 10 years before the job title existed). Carmack fired him for it because he hated multiplayer and felt it was a waste of time, despite being the thing that cemented doom as a must have game. he forced him out by telling the other co-founders it was romero or him (and at the time, the engines where HUGE for id, so bye bye romero).

He also did it with hall a small bit before he pulled it with romero. Hall was promised another keen game (his project and his passion), but was forced to do shit for doom because carmack outright told him he didnt feel like doing another keen so id would never would. Hall said he was promised it, and before the co-owners could side with him (you know, based on his word), he told em his engines and code leave with him, and without him there was no keen or doom, and if they didnt vote hall out, he was gone.

He didnt have to pull the "my ball" shit with the employees who had the idea to do doom 3 (something carmack did not want at all). After the co-owners basically forced him to agree to do it, he just fired the 3 who brought the idea to light the next day.

When people made fun of his engine for being indoors only and the only time it did outdoors was an indoor like area with a outdoor background, he funded an entire game (ETQW) and did an entire engine update just to prove them wrong.

When rage came out, he literally ignored the PC problem for several months and blamed everything BUT the game, and eventually agreed it might be his game and patched it.

He has a massive ego.

Your entire post is mostly made-up shit and I cba answering everything now, but

>Carmack fired him for it because he hated multiplayer and felt it was a waste of time

Carmack was one that pushed for Q3 to be a MP-only title and has always been averse to sprawling, "epic" campaigns. He shot down all of Tom Hall's autism because he felt games were about jumping it and getting to blasting, not sitting through bullshit

No you retard. Carmack desperately WANTED to do Doom 3, the rest of id didn't. So he got a couple of guys, went to management and said "let us do Doom 3 or fire us". He got his way but Paul Steed was fired in retaliation by Tim Willits. This is on Masters of Doom

Your whole post is full of poorly-remembered shit

Where are you getting this from? ETQW was licensed out to Splash Damage, who wanted to release another game inside the (very successful) Enemy Territory formula (which they're still seemingly very fond of, see Brink and Dirty Bomb) but lacked an engine to do it. They were also experienced with id's tech. It was a sensical move that left id free to work on their own projects. ETQW is a fucking great game too, it wasn't bigger solely because COD4 cockblocked it

Bullshit, but I'll support the vigourous shitposting anytime

Hall was fired because he was whining about wanting to make games for kids again, while Romero smelled blood with Wolfenstein and wanted to do an Aliens type of game, thus creating Doom.

Romero was fired because he wanted to make a Hack'n'Slash game based on a knight called Quake with the name Quake. Carmack managed to produce only shit of an engine atm, the company couldn't do crap until he finished it, the only way they could release anykind of game being so far over schedule is if they took the crap of an engine (still better than everything on the market though) Carmack produced and make it an fps with the medieval castle maps the team already made for Romero's Quake game. Romero was against it, the rest of the company including bitchtit Carmack said you're in it, or you're out.

After the game release, Romero was out.
