Co-founder of id Software John Carmack has officially left the company he made famous for a 100% focus on the Oculus Rift. Carmack is now the chief technical officer at Oculus VR.
“John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio,” says a statement from Tim Willits, studio director at id Software. “John’s work on id Tech 5 and the technology for the current development work at id is complete, and his departure will not affect any current projects. We are fortunate to have a brilliant group of programmers at id who worked with John and will carry on id’s tradition of making great games with cutting-edge technology. As colleagues of John for many years, we wish him well.”
