From a business point of view his comments make perfect sense. If you were in his shoes you would do the exact same thing. It is all about money people... Carmack doesn't owe anyone anything.
Here is what it comes down to:
- if PC gamers boycott (lol) ID games in the future they will still make exceptional money off selling their games on consoles.
- now turn the situation on it's head... they can not survive with only the PC market on their side if the consoles boycotted their products.
If you want to blame anything, how about the absurd pricess for gaming hardware? I mean does NVIDIA and AMD really need to come out with a new card every 4 months.
In my opinion, NVIDIA and AMD with their lack of patch support and price gouging is what has contribute large to the demise of PC gaming with a lot of old school PC gamers switching to console because they get tired of spending 2 days getting a game to run out of the box.
