      No, he left ages ago. Iirc he basically said nothing ever got done because everything had to go through level after level after level of managers and red tape.

      Unfortunately, Carmack has fallen far from where he was before. Incredibly disappointed in him.

    Is there still bad blood between them? They do great stuff together, its a shame they wont collaborate anymore. I dont think Carmack even really does any games stuff these days?

      I think despite the gaming media wanting to keep a shitstorm between them to drive clicks, Carmack has said on a few occasions (the last one from memory: https://youtu.be/_D5cwq4HVXc ) that a few choice words were said between them back at id, but both of them regret it in hindsight and that they’re both hugely respectful of each others talents nowadays.

      I’m not saying they’re best pals but I think they’ve both grown up and gone their seperate ways and appreciate the work that the other has achieved.
