John Carmack is "tapped out". Honestly, he talks so big but doesn't deliver anymore. IMO this guy is now irrelevant.

He is what? Please go and get to know about what he is currently working on before you post crap like this.

Yes the oculus rift looks pretty awesome but he's not the creator. Seriously, within the last 10 years he hasnt contributed anything special. He's been surpassed by many in graphics engineering.

Then tell me one person who actually has contributed something special? Carmack is an awesome coder in general, 3d especially. There is no way to deny that. Perhaps he made wrong decisions with Rage but still code is always mostly his own and especially good made (I read about a code analysis about Quake(?) where the author explicitely says how nice and well organized the whole code is).

Any dev-team out there would be happy to have a genius like him as a partner.
