        Sigil was so stunningly good it convinced the world that Romero had always been the real talent at Id during the '90s. This precipitated an alcholic breakdown in John Carmack and when he emerged from that black pit of despair, he emerged as a trans woman. Many such cases.

        You must be new here.

        I mean John Carmack is now Jane Carmack. He (she) went full troon.

    He’s just some beady eyed freak who got lucky in the 90s. Who cares what he thinks. He’s not even relevant these days.

    this would be true... in 2003. it's been 20 fucking years since masters of doom, and gaming has changed dramatically since. this is an incredibly outdated design and development philosophy. it shocks me you people still quote this

    Back when video game technology was still advancing most people were buying them in hope of more immersion.
    The point was to simulate a real world in which you get to fuck around in all the ways you can't IRL.
    Unfortunately, for the last 15 years the only advancements in games have been graphics and nowadays people think games are just interactive movies, that it's all about character drama and other soap opera level trash.

      this happened because women started being let into the design and writers rooms of these games (and all media as a whole). men's opinions have not actually changed, and they still don't enjoy soapy character drama trash written by and for women.

      Hardware hadn't caught up to what he'd done yet. Doom 2016 and Eternal proved him right in the long run.

    How many of you actually expect a story in porn?
    This ain't the 1970's anymore where a porn movie had to be feature length to be shown in dedicated porno theaters.
