Carmack's swim lane was exceptionally wide. My understanding was that this sort of criticism was actually his main job duty.

No matter how big or small one's "swim lane" is, an argument on technical merits without getting personal or discriminatory (assuming this was the case with J.C.) is never an HR issue. The whole "Weaponizing HR" thing is a nightmare and should not be acceptable.
Imagine being a meta engineer and not taking Carmack's advice seriously.
Why the fuck is he even hired there if you are not going to listen to him.
Dude has forgotten more things about game development than you will ever know...
There were quite a few of high-caliber individuals with equally impressive resumes in the organization to match Carmack's wisdom and ego.
The metaverse has really showcased that.
They finally have feet now, right?
Only light fun. I'm just a little perplexed at their progress and direction over the past 7-8 years. I don't understand how they can have so many high caliber people and put out...that.

Hard to believe that, although maybe they considered their own resumes equally impressive.
