John Carmack, CEO of Meta, co-founder of id Software and one of the developers of the legendary Doom game, announced that he has left Mark Zuckerberg’s company. This was reported by the New York Times newspaper.

It has been noted that Carmack actively developed the direction of virtual reality and later supported Zuckerberg’s efforts to create a meta-universe. However, the developer said that the company has many problems that hinder the development of technologies.

In a figurative sense, the Meta processor runs at only 5% of its maximum power. “We have an incredible number of people and resources, but we are constantly sabotaging ourselves and wasting our efforts. There is no point in embellishing this situation in any way.”He wrote.

Carmack also noted that his work is a constant struggle to influence the overall direction of Meta. “I am fed up with this struggle. And frankly, I am not convincing enough to change the course of the company.“, the developer added.

Carmack has also criticized Meta’s VR efforts in the past. He talked about his desire to get permission to develop a “super cheap and super light” Meta VR headset that “will cost $250 and weigh 250 grams.” However, as the former top manager agreed, it was decided to finalize and release the Quest Pro headset for 1.5 thousand dollars.
