Carmack on Retirement

Game almost over for Doom creator? is a pot-stirring article on CNN Money speculating on John Carmack's future as a game developer in light of his other burgeoning interests like rocketeering and fatherhood. The article features new quotes along with a recent comment on Armadillo's site to build a case for hypothesizing that id's next project may be the programmer's last.

Carmack is the Numero Uno proponent of OpenGL over DirectX. I'm sure Gates has considered having him whacked more than once....but it would be so obvious who done it.

If Carmack retires, Microsoft will have the biggest obstacle to 100 percent dominance of the graphic API market removed. And that means Apple and Linux become that much more marginalized.
