John Carmack, the programmer responsible for Doom, Quake, and more, has left id Software completely.
“John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio," id's studio director Tim Willits told IGN. "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.”
Carmack, a co-founder of id, recently joined Oculus as CTO, but remained at id Software in some capacity. "Happy to say [John Carmack] is not leaving id & will continue to provide leadership for our games in development," id publisher Bethesda stated at the time.
Oculus recently revealed it was close to solving the motion sickness problem with its Rift device, which will achieve 4K resolution sooner than expected. Earlier this year, id president Todd Hollenshead departed id as well.



Doom Creator John Carmack Officially Leaves id Software




De los fundadores originales de id software ya no queda nadie, el mas viejo es Tim Willits aparentemente y se unió en el 95 a id.

Si bien el rol de Carmack en id era un rol técnico es una partida grande, aunque el loco seguramente va a ser encarar el Oculus Rift, fui una de las personas que le gusto Rage espero que id encare buen rumbo con Doom 4.
