Who is John Carmack?

That question alone proves you are not the expert you claim to be when it comes to video games.


People who dont care for fps are not going to know nor care about who John Carmack is. Plus normal people dont usually read the credits on anything be it a game or movie that doesnt mean they dont know games or movies.


We're posting in a video games forum...I hardly call that normal.

I've never read credits for a videogame.  Most people know who that is. 

Really? Most people? And how would you measure the extent of which such knowledge has penetrated any given populous? Funny how I've been scolded for allegedly making unsubstantiated claims such as this but you get a free ticket to make broad sweeping generalizaitons as fact. Also, video games don't equal FPSs so stop trying to act like knowing who this man is something that should be imprinted in a gamer's DNA. The guy made alot of games of one specific genre which achieved their key notority in the 90s (at which time the FPS genre was still its own sub-culture in many respects), yet you expect everyone to know religiously who he is and attack those who don't. Wonderful.
