John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio. Johnโs 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 idโs tradition of making great games with cutting-edge technology. As colleagues of John for many years, we wish him well.
Tim WillitsIf you have a juggernaut, you can make change. I'm all for that. If we could force people to always be connected when you play the game, and then have that be acceptable, awesome.
Tim WillitsThere will be a few people who will resent the fact you have to be online to play a single-player game. But it'll change.
