Pioneering video game developer John Carmack is leaving Meta, and has said that his departure brings “the end of [his] decade in VR.” “We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage,” the veteran wrote.

“It has been a struggle for me. I have a voice at the highest levels here, so it feels like I should be able to move things, but I’m evidently not persuasive enough,” Carmack continued.

“A good fraction of the things I complain about eventually turn my way after a year or two passes and evidence piles up, but I have never been able to kill stupid things before they cause damage, or set a direction and have a team actually stick to it. I think my influence at the margins has been positive, but it has never been a prime mover.”before its acquisition in 2014, was founded by controversial developer Palmer Luckey in 2012. Carmack joined the project in 2013.

Carmack, who made his name developing industry-shaking titles like Doom and Quake, will go on to work on his recent AI startup Keen Technologies. “Enough complaining. I wearied of the fight and have my own startup to run, but the fight is still winnable,” Carmack concluded.

VR still expensive and in it infancy, it gonna take a long time to show it true potencial.

I just finished watching the Lex Fridman podcast with him, and he basically already said all of this 4 months ago.

Has DaftLimmy seen this?

Maybe VR just sucks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well he can always go back to his home with ID and Zenimax, but after stealing that Code I don't think he will

I can't blame John Carmack for leaving Meta. Their vision for VR is ridiculous.

You're better off reviving idSoftware back to its glory days.

He should join PlayStation to work with the PSVR2 or make his own studio!
