Whether you like ID's games or not, they are living gods. Computer gaming today would not be the same without them.

fixed.
EA aren't going to get away with bullying iD, they aren't some small dev desperate for anyone to publish so that they jump through hoops for peanuts. EA's only role in this is in recieving the gold disc "when its done" and make a trillion copies of it and then making sure everybody knows about it.

Doom 4 2009, followed by Doom 4 2010, Doom 4 2011 ............. 
You must now provide EA with a copy of your birth certificate along with a signed photo of you holding a legitmate copy of Doom 4 before you can play it. You'll also need to do this again once every 2 weeks or your game will be locked-out.
Hopefully, EA is really bad in some occasions. ( see what they did to sim city ffs)...

If you are enough of a tool to really think John Carmack is overrated, I suggest you go read up on:
- the amazing games he has made
- the extremely successful games that used the engines he created
- the insanely popular mods that were developed from those successes
- his innovative approaches to game engine programming which is used by every developer you can think of
- his passion and massive influence in the development of the technology behind games both hardware and software
Just look at his latest effort with Tech5... whilst every other developer is crying and moaning about how difficult it is to multi-platform develop, he has solved it by just having the engine render a single set of game code and art assets to be used for any current gen console and the pc.

ID have been rubbish for some time. There past is glorious but if you can't keep it going then you're nothing. Tech5 engine looks lovely though, I hope they can add some games to it.
what amazing games? hes only made around 12 games about 4 that were sucessful and people act like hes some amazing figure whos been in gaming for decades.
doom3 was one of the most overhyped games ever to be released and it was a steaming turd in the dark.
the original doom wasnt all that great either if it wasnt for it beeing violent it would have been a big fail
LOL @ you! I hope this is an alt account by Magick.
If you didn't like his games, fair enough, thats 1/5 of my points argued against... care to take on the rest? or i'll win with a pretty crushing 4-1 lead
People seem to bring this down to "lol I dident liek duum3 so now id sux"... you fail to realise the staggering amount of influence John Carmack has had in shaping the ENTIRE gaming industry from the very games we play to the technology that drives them... to say he is overrated is just fail on an a truely unheard of level.
You are aware that, until the Source engine came along, nearly all the PC shooters you've played were partly thanks to John Carmack's excellent engine building?
