Top Highlights
- The Twitch-streamed event, announced on social media late last week by Romero, will take place on Doom's anniversary of December 10
- Carmack and Romero will discuss the game and its legacy with moderator and Rocket Jump author David L. Craddock
- But "the two Johns" say that reports of their falling out have been exaggerated over the years
- (Update: Romero takes issue with this story in his recent memoir, writing that the time-tracking story actually took place at Cygnus Studios. "Carmack never programmed anything on my computer, a fact I've confirmed with him, nor did he give me a list of my hours," Romero wrote. "Rather, he accused me of not being fully focused on Quake.")
- Carmack left Meta with a frustration-filled departure message and now puts his professional time into AGI startup Keen Technologies.
