No need, I'd wager Carmack and friends are plenty good at their own game.

They suck (sic! :) ) badly compared to remotely professional players. Tim Willits even said so himself just recently on Quakecon.

Hmm? Bethesda didn't make Quake, if that's what you're saying...

Bethesda bought id in '09, so yes they do.

Er, okay. That seems unrelated since they never "made Quake" and likely have little/no influence over Carmack himself.

But oh man: Carmack vs Notch. Imagine it.

Nevermind, I hope Bethesda can somehow persuade/pressure/bribe/extort Carmack into that. Because... C'mon. Carmack vs Notch.

Both Bethesda and id are subsidiaries of Zenimax[1].
