I haven't heard of this one until this thread. Maybe Mr. Carmack has gone public in an attempt to force Microsoft's hand on the multi-disc royalty issue.... Or, maybe he even went to Microsoft and he threatened to go nuclear. MS maybe called his bluff. Who knows. Business can be ugly...

 

Kn I think he wants the media to blow up so MS would be forced to allow him to put the game on more than 2 disks.Casue in this genre MS doesnot allow more than 2 disks unlike RPG.his new  engine is 20 GB alone(for this game and Doom 4)so he needs to do this once so that MS would not cause problems for doom 4 either in near future.

Forcing MS to do anything will be worth the price of admission. This clown Carmack is about to get own3d. News at 11.

 

so you mean he can't get what he wants??MS just don't want to make it a trend for every company to follow,,,like Mass effect 2 on 3 disks,,,,but I think they will allow this guy,,,,only time will tell.

 

This is Carmack.  He was on the freakin' Xbox board of technology, and is likely on the 360's.  His input that was crucial to MS making such a developer-friendly architecture.  They'll give in, eventually.
