  I’m out of the loop, care to elaborate?

  Only thing I can say is that Carmack’s Wikipedia article reads like he wrote it himself before a job interview…

  Not only does high intensity allow him to make progress more quickly, but long hours are also critical to maintaining a focused mindset over time. Despite working such a demanding schedule, he has never experienced burnout.>

    Long story short, both of them wound up associated to the far right. Romero was well known, but Carmack was invited to a convention specifically against “cancel culture”.

        There’s a lot more nuance than that. I can’t remember enough of the situation off the top of my head, but I remember there is is more to the story than that. I would recommend you read up on it yourself before you make up your mind from one comment thread.
