Treating consoles and PC as equals was “one of the biggest mistakes I made in this generation,” John Carmack has admitted, and says that he would develop RAGE “very differently” for consoles now.
"Quake II is a masterpiece; an enduring first-person shooter that shows iD Software at their technical and artistic best."

The story of John Romero, John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and their legendary company id Software. From Commander Keen to Wolfenstein 3D, from Doom to Quake, they invented the 3D first-person shooter genre, and they transformed PC gaming into a multi-million dollars business.
businessinsider writes: "His exit came on Friday, the people said. Carmack, who has been openly critical of Meta's advancements in AR and VR, core to its metaverse ambitions, posted to the company's internal Workplace forum about his decision to leave."
I hope he starts up another new company and can get another new game engine on the market too.
He is like: "Im done with F#@#$%NG nonsense, pff Metaverse da funk I was thinking!!, Im out!! :D"
Yeah he put a smile in his face too in the end.
I hope he goes back to traditional games.
VR gaming is a flop and the Metaverse has (fortunately) completely failed to take off.
One of if not, the best game engine developer in the world. I hope he gets back into developing game engines.
They need to stick VR back in RnD departments everywhere that or let the porn industry lead the way like everything else that's been introduced then brought to mass market after porn made it a thing lmfao
Right we get it Carmack you love the PC.
I'm sorry I think the guy is a genius and his games are amazing but all this talk about the PC and how console don't live up to them is getting ridiculous consoles will never be as powerful as the PC, we all know this. Consoles are consoles because it's something we don't need to waste a crap load of money on for the actually thing and keep updating it like the PC.
Gamers had fun with the NES, the Snes, the PS1 and the xbox. If that doesn't show you that its about the games, nothing will.
Quit yapping about hardware, and make good games. Your graphics engine will be outdated in a year, but a great game stays great forever.
Of course the PC will be the better hardware in the end, you can upgrade a PC anytime. It doesn't have a life cycle to go through like a console does.
I love both the same pc has its games and consoles have theirs. Plus for my ps3 i dont need to buy new components every 2-3 years to play the newest games.
The current generation of consoles is outdated. But console players don't know any better.
