John Carmac officially leaves id Software

[SE7EN]

“John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio. John’s work on id Tech 5 and the technology for the current development work at id is complete, and his departure will not affect any current projects. We are fortunate to have a brilliant group of programmers at id who worked with John and will carry on id’s tradition of making great games with cutting-edge technology. As colleagues of John for many years, we wish him well.”

Code: Select all

I think I heard mention of this somewhere but I didn't believe it. I still don't want to believe it. A juggernaut like John Carmac should stick with the company that brought the world the FPS genre, that invented and pioneered a whole style of games and gameplay, not to mention definitions and terminology. I can't... Just... *sighs*
