More Carmack Follow-up

An email from PCGaming World's Mat Bettinson responds to some of the implications of the questions asked in Chris Spencer's follow-up with Mr. Carmack about the recently posted audio interview:

Clarification time.

One doesn't fly to Texas and go to id's office to interview the staff 'off the record'. I also work for PC Gaming World, not Computer Gaming World which is our US sister magazine. CGW's Robert Coffey conducted their own interviews on the same day.

URL link for PC Gaming World is http://www.pcgw.co.uk/ - like CGW, our official web site is Gamespot, with us it's Gamespot UK.

My decision to sample the interviews and make available via my web page, and also to post an unofficial informal Quake 3 Arena preview was not taken lightly. I did it because I'm a fan of id's and there was a lot more material than I could use in the official PCGW and Gamespot features. However I have made efforts to remove unsuitable comments from the interviews, both those that have been released so far and those that I'm yet to release, pending id's approval, on my unofficial .plan preview.
