Damn they look smug

who cares

Epic only ever made ripoffs

Well they have reason to be. Carmack because he created motherfucking DOOM and QUAKE and Sweeney because he is a Chinese shill billionaire.
>>6530729
Fuck you

Smugmack

your discord is really productive.
after spamming series-flamewars and system-flamewars you're now inciting developer-flamewars.
what's next?

>>6530750
What? I don't use Discord. How is this inciting a flame war faggot? This isn't Usenet in the late 90s, it's /vr/ in current year. Take your meds.

>>6530741
Reminder that 3 is the only good Doom, and Q2 is the only good quake, and specifically only in singleplayer. Arenafags can get fucked.

Carmack looks smug. Sweeney still looks like the dog that chewed that remote.

>>6530719
John Carmack, but I wish he had changed the license of his older engines to zlib or MIT (actually Expat).

>>6530719
Nobody cares you nerd. Enjoy the games.

>>6530907
What? Doom 3 is ok but certainly not better than 1 or 2. Also Quake 1 is awesome as well. I agree fuck Arena

>t. zoomers who don't even know who either of these guys are

>>6531092
KDITD is fantastic. The rest of 1 is shit, and there's nothing of value in 2. Quake 1 is 10/10 with Arcane Dimensions, but that doesn't count.

Sweeney has surpassed Carmack in every way, even height

>they both have the same type of nose where you can see the holes even while looking from the front

is that a common genetic trait to fps engine designers from the 90s?

Gee, I wonder who the best is.

Ken Silverman>>>>sweeney>carmack

The only reason we even know who Sweeney is is because he

1) sold his soul to the chinese
2) brought console exclusivity to the PC

Why does the person who made the Ultima Underworld engine get no credit? I guess he didn't hire a PR firm to build a cult of personality around himself. Should have though, since it came out before Doom and was superior in many ways.

Why the artificial drama? They are both capable programmers who pushed the industry forward. They are also both filthy rich.

remember: buying a 500 dollar device to play games that are arbitrarily locked behind it is providing healthy competition, but installing a different launcher on your PC to play a game is worse than the second coming of hitler

>>6534478
Why are you white guys so obsessed with Hitler?

>>6533518
As opposed to Carmack selling out to Facebook?

tim sweeney made zzt so obviously him

Says fucking who? It's amazing that people put up with that shit
