John Carmack on mutable variables

How fast this got to the top, you would think John Carmack just invented nuclear fusion.

People worship this guy, but other than being a good C++ graphics programmer, it isn't clear what he's actually done.

Doom which was countless fun for people up to this day who make mods? (E.g. the great Myhouse.wad that was perhaps FPS of the year... 2023)

Quake, which was a good game, but arguably a better engine that lead to things like Half-Life 1?

Other games?

Shared the code to Doom and Quake?

I guess you dont understand how big of a game Doom was. The first episode holds suprisngly well up to this day, even after hundreds of doom-clones as they used to call FPS games.

But he didn't design the Doom game. He designed its graphics engine.

You understand how games work, do you? Please tell me you do. Else, what kind of argument is it?
