>Carmacks face annoys me
He's a typical beta cuck with an asian wife and a kid that looks nothing like him.

- Zenimax bought ID software for >$100m(1) on June 24, 2009.
- Carmack signed up with Zenimax for an earn-out / golden-handcuffs agreement that ended in June of 2013.
- Carmack was enthralled with VR.
- Carmack found Palmer via an internet forum, reached out to get a rift to try.
- Carmack tinkered with the Rift, adding sensors, building calibration, etc. while on the clock / using hardware from zenimax.
- Carmack brought a prototype of the Rift working on Doom 3 to E3 with him providing Oculus with their early press.
- Zenimax realized the extent to which Carmack was enabling Oculus and worked to negotiate equity with Brendan Iribe.
- Oculus sent Zenimax a proposal to discuss a partnership Sept 21, 2012 but never followed up / followed through.
- Carmack quit Zenimax the day his contract was up in June 2013, joined Oculus as CTO a few months later and took his 5 best guys with him.
- FB bought Oculus March 2014, Zenmix got pissed and sued.

>>58755425
Why didn't he just keep ownership of ID?

>>58755312
Carmack confirmed pirate.

And fuck all these zenimax shills

>>58755466
he's an idiot savant. he's a high-functioning autist who's only good at programming.

>>58755491
he's not even good. Doom was good for the time, but that was his peak. Just rehashes the same old shit over and over. Just look at that garbage that was Quake 4 / RAGE

>>58755466
>"We're really getting kind of tired competing with our own publishers in terms of how our titles will be featured," Carmack said. "And we've really gotten more IPs than we've been able to take advantage of. And working with other companies hasn't been working out as spectacularly as it could. So the idea of actually becoming a publisher and merging Bethesda and ZeniMax on there [is ideal.] It would be hard to imagine a more complementary relationship. They are triple A, top-of-the-line in what they do in the RPGs. And they have no overlap with all the things we do in the FPSes."

>>58755370
>Old habits I see
he/Id stole before??? pls tell me moar!

>>58755510
Lets not forget that sword game

>>58755510
Carmack is just the engine nigger autist

gameplay mechanics and story are handled by other people I think

Reminder that Donald Trumps brother is on the board of Zenimax, and Palmer shilled for Donald

>>58755312
Nice clickbait title. The jury found that Carmack wasn't responsible guilty stealing VR tech.

>>58755566
its all the same shit, quake 3-ish logic in 2017

>>58755596
Reminder that liberals will be shitter shattered for the next 8 years.

>Just look at that garbage that was Quake 4 / RAGE

If those games were bad it wasn't because he was a bad programmer, the games are technically good, if they were uninteresting that is another thing.

Everyone knows that the best id games were product of Carmack working together with Romero.

>>58755628
It seems as days go by Trump is only making the left more popular and omnipresent than they ever were. Now every normie is jumping on the 'resistance' and the internet is more obnoxious than before. It's almost like polarization benefits (((someone)))

>>58755596
Trump family are not kikes, they wouldn't fuck over carmack like that. Too many kike shills in this thread fear carmack and are trying to forum slide.

Does that just mean they weren't paid off?

oh yeah, what a piece of shit that was

>>58755648
Gaming industry has become complacent and lacking passion. I have not touched any game after Diablo II. Played mobas for a while but realized quickly that they are pure cancer.

It just doesn't feel fun or exciting anymore. The focus is on eye candy and the next monster GPU to power the retarded poorly optimized games instead of gameplay, story and leaving a lasting impression.

>>58755648
>If those games were bad it wasn't because he was a bad programmer, the games are technically good, if they were uninteresting that is another thing.
I got motion sickness so bad from RAGE I almost puked. It was the worst feeling ive gotten from a game in 25+ years of gaming. From the "sway" he programmed in. Fuck John Carmack.

>>58755715
John Carmack will be better than you ever could, CS monkey.

>>58755659
>Trump is only making the left more popular
you dumb. democrats have lost more governorships, seats in congress and senate than ever in history. they're literally falling apart as not even moderate dems can take all this SJW bullshit anymore.

democratic party is dying right in front of our eyes and President is responsible for making that happen.

>>58755743
SJWs are just useful idiots. The main players are Israel, neocons and corporations. All things Trump lied about being against as evidenced by his cabinet..

I took a gamble by voting for him because of the tiny possibility he might be genuinely against both party establishments but I was proven wrong and reminded that voting was retarded to believe has any effect whatsoever

You chose the worst possible thing to judge modern games.

There are other good games, you just need to know where to look, that doesn't mean that what you said isn't true to some extent.

>>58755312
VR is easy shit. Just a lens infront of a screen.

>>58755510
He's not a game designer mate. If those games were buggy pieces of shit like Bethesda games are you might've had a point.

>>58755895
He's probably overrated but still decent.

>>58755530
He stole Apple computers from a school as a kid

>>58755889
The MSM is playing up Bannon as the master behind Trump because he's a stereotypical drunk Irishman who represents the ultimate whitey strawman to push the 'Trump is a nazi' idea to both leftists as a negative and white nationalists as a positive.

Meanwhile the real men behind the scenes are Miller and Kushner

I wish i could discuss this shit on /pol/ but it's a hugbox likely shilled by Kushnerbux

>>58755776
He's a more talented thief for sure. I'm kind of jealous.

>>58755530
He admitted to pirating Ultima games. So he's basically satan.

Any day that Facebook loses money is a good day.

>>58755915
We all did stupid things as a kid. Man, there are so many jealous talentless faggots on /g/ just waiting to tear someone better and more talented down.

depending on how big vr gets, 500 million is chump change 2bh. fucking dishonest piece of shit

>>58755915
>He stole Apple computers from a school as a kid
Damn. He actually admitted to theft? What a retard.

>>58755928
>Piracy is stealing
Okay shlomo

>>58755963
He was caught

>>58755974
And punished and he stopped it as he got more into programming.

>>58755945
>stupid things
He created an explosive paste to bypass the window security and the only reason he got caught was because his obese friend opened the window and set it off. He was sent to get help and the adult described him as a "brain on legs"
He also was kicked out of a casino if I remember
He's literally a super autist

>>58755963
>As reported in David Kushner's Masters of Doom, when Carmack was 14, he broke into a school to help a group of kids steal Apple II computers. To gain entry to the building, Carmack concocted a sticky substance of thermite mixed with Vaseline that melted through the windows. However, an overweight accomplice struggled to get through the hole, and opened the window, setting off a silent alarm and alerting police. John was arrested, and sent for psychiatric evaluation (the report mentions 'no empathy for other human beings' and describes Carmack as 'a brain on legs'). Carmack was then sentenced to a year in a juvenile home.

>the report mentions 'no empathy for other human beings' and describes Carmack as 'a brain on legs'

>>58755982
Well, clearly he never stopped, seeing as he got Facebook into this mess.

>>58756077
I guess he hates change

>>58756077
he works on things that interest him, exclusively.

how many people can say that?

>>58755425
Man, from the description in OP it sounded as if Zenimax had the audacity to claim that they owned Carmacks future products from his experience working for them, but this shows they they essentially flat out paid him to work on the rift until the day he quit.

The media are literal normies, we don't care and I doubt he cares.

Carmack gets a hard on for creating useless crap like Megatextures that 5 years later no one and I mean NO ONE uses. He can't tell whats good from whats bad, he just likes to sit on his ass and type

>>58756696

I mean that's great, but not enough to criticize Carmack.

>>58756756
idk or gaf

>>58756696
I think someone who's done as much as Carmack has is perfectly fine just taking the rest of their life off and doing nothing at this point.

>>58756771
Such passion, if only all programmers were like you.

>>58756791
he made a bunch of video games, not even good ones. The pinnacle of fps was something like a Halo 2 / 3

>>58756864

>>58756748
you missed the fact that he worked on Oculus tech while at Zenimax.

No (you) s for you, try better next time.

>>58756864
>t. 2000s kid

They were great at the time, and he pioneered techniques for rendering graphics back then.

That you can use libraries to build a shitty video game is not impressive. Have you actually come up with anything that helped others?

>>58756902
open sourced engine on github with followers and forks. I contribute 10x more to the FLOSS community than carmack ever has.

>>58756951
>I contribute 10x more to the FLOSS community than carmack ever has.

So what? His achievements aren't even in FLOSS, they're in developing techniques and algorithms used for rendering computer graphics.

He made advancements in a field, while you made a run-of-the-mill game engine that probably sucks and doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the table. Why don't you post it here so we can see how influential it's been? Lmao

>>58756696
Even id dropped megatextures and guess what? Performance and quality improved massively

>>58756691
I don't think Carmack cares about anything that isn't whatever project he is currently fixated on. Which is why this whole situation happened actually.

lET ME SEE IF I UNDERSTAND. zENIMAX IS SUING BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY OWN SOMETHING CARMACK MADE FOR FUN, RIGHT?

Carmack is anti-Trump too. This guy has really fallen off the deep end.

>>58755312
wait a second. So Carmak did something for a company, go to another to work on the same type of technology and he stole his own code ? What kind of retardation is this ?

>>58757341
all the code he produced was owned by the company that was paying him. that's how the EMPLOYMENT works you stupid NEET.

>The liability of Defendants was established by uncontradicted evidence presented by ZeniMax, including (i) the breakthrough in VR technology occurred in March 2012 at id Software through the research efforts of our former employee John Carmack (work that ZeniMax owns) before we ever had contact with the other defendants; (ii) we shared this VR technology with the defendants under a non-disclosure agreement that expressly stated all the technology was owned by ZeniMax; (iii) the four founders of Oculus had no expertise or even backgrounds in VR—other than Palmer Luckey who could not code the software that was the key to solving the issues of VR; (iv) there was a documented stream of computer code and other technical assistance flowing from ZeniMax to Oculus over the next 6 months; (v) Oculus in writing acknowledged getting critical source code from ZeniMax; (vi) Carmack intentionally destroyed data on his computer after he got notice of this litigation and right after he researched on Google how to wipe a hard drive—and data on other Oculus computers and USB storage devices were similarly deleted (as determined by a court-appointed, independent expert in computer forensics); (vii) when he quit id Software, Carmack admitted he secretly downloaded and stole over 10,000 documents from ZeniMax on a USB storage device, as well as the entire source code to RAGE and the id tech® 5 engine —which Carmack uploaded to his Oculus computer; (viii) Carmack filed an affidavit which the court's expert said was false in denying the destruction of evidence; and (ix) Facebook's lawyers made representations to the court about those same Oculus computers which the court's expert said were inaccurate. Oculus’ response in this case that it didn’t use any code or other assistance it received from ZeniMax was not credible, and is contradicted by the testimony of Oculus programmers (who admitted cutting and pasting ZeniMax code into the Oculus SDK), as well as by expert testimony.

>>58757353

I seriously doubt Carmack did anything wrong here. They're butthurt about losing one of their best programmers and want to use their non-compete clause to try and hurt the new company he works for. It's easier for Facebook/Oculus to pay $500 than deal with an ongoing series of lawsuits.

"Megatextures" was actual solution to actual problem.
https://youtu.be/BiQCz2NjPR8

>>58757046
What are you talking about? New Doom uses megatextures. And, apparently, many other games use them to some extend.

>>58758084
You mean, he always talks about something interesting?

>>58755560
Are you refering to Daikatana? That was from Romero and his own company, Ion Storm. The only thing Carmack-made in this game was the licenced Quake-Quake 2 engine(s).

>>58755648
>>58755878
The point is RAGE was a technical piece of shit. Have you ever played it on release/unpatched? Every time you would turn around textures would load in front of you.

>>58760959
As I understand, Oculus is better for sitting experience. So it is more convenient as trackIR replacement. I, personally, don't want to deal with dedicated VR room in my house with sensors mounted in all corners. Just like I use headphones instead of 7.1 audio system.

>>58761284
whther something he says is interesting or not doesn't mean that he speaks in a robotic manner and comes off as someone who can barely tie his own shoelaces

>>58761332
It's not just that, even moving your head around is much more fluid with Vive.

>>58755312

Zucc BTFO

>>58761297
Some of that was driver problems. I, personally, take textures loading when I turn over game freezing entirely.
I played RAGE near its release on my laptop with GeForce 8400m 128 VRAM. It worked well enough for me to finish game and have fun (I was not trying to prove a point, just pirated it to have some fun).

OCULUS IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

Fuck Zenimax, and fuck Carmack for selling us out to Zenimax.

>>58755312
Meh, $500m is ultimately chumpchange for Facebook, but what I do hope for is that Zeni will throw some of that cash to their studios, and make an Elder Scolls that's not shit for once.

Because everyone who mattered had already left
ID was a dead company and Carmack didn't want it anymore

>>58761297

He didn't create megatextures, it was a previously existing technology he wanted to implement in vidya

ZeniMax is in the right, Facebook is in the wrong. That is for sure.

My question is.. will the Facebook stock drop significantly? Should we short it?

It's worthless. He wrote it all off and gave up on it when he went to work on Oculus. He's got no side-projects now.

I bet his wife and kids wouldn't have to pay the $150 million if he were to suicide himself so that's probably what he's thinking about right now.

He's a fucking idiot for doing this and for deleting evidence and not being good at it. They also got his search records (from Google I presume?) and they found out that he was searching on how to delete his hard disk. LOL! He also stole the source code to all the id Software games that he sold to Zenimax.

What a madman!!

>>58762923
The charge for misappropriation of IP by Carmack was found not guilty. The settlement is only because of Palmer Luckeys breach of NDA by showing off the prototype as well as copyright infringement because they advertised Doom 3 as a VR ready game.

Carmack doesn't have to pay a dime, the 500m is split between Oculus (300), Palmer (50) and Brendan Irbe (150)

>>58755354
Carmack worked on proprietary software Zenimax employment. Later copied the works he did on Zenimax on the hard drive and never returned that. Employee goes off to different company to work on same project where he left off.

Theft and copyright both apply here. Theft of actual codes and copyright where architectural designs were stolen.
