He also took the team's cat to a kill shelter because it was getting in the way of work. When Romero told him it was a shelter that was going to euthanize it, he just shrugged and said "whatever", and went back to coding

Just buy the Nightdive remaster. 60-120fps, 4K texture upscaling, all Quake episodes and even downloadable mods. For real the game is as brutal and unforgiving as Doom Eternal on Nightmare.

Get the fuck out, this cannot be a real story even for Carmack's cyborg ass

yeah, my main takeaway from masters of doom was that john carmack would probably be in prison or something if he wasnt so good at making stuff

I've never been able to view Carmack highly since reading it. Even when talking about his alienation of the staff, he's still presented as this loner who just had a strict code of conduct. But it's so much more damning to look at it with an outsider's perspective, as well as how treatment of workers in the game industry is viewed today.
