I can trust John Carmack's words when he says in an interview, or on stage. There's a passion in his talks, a nervousness in blurting what he really feels, and those are really good traits, in my mind.

I genuinely felt a sense of disappointment when he moved to Facebook (via the Occulus acquisition). So yea, fuck you, Facebook and your manipulative, life values corrupting and PR machinery.

I place John Carmack miles above Zuckerberg.

I have to admit, I felt a bit disappointed too. Carmack and Facebook always struck me as an antithetical pairing - the creativity/independence of the former didn't seem to sit right with the maniacal/emotional exploitation of the latter.

I think Carmack just doesn't give a flying f* about Facebook or etc. he is interested in tech and he clearly works on stuff he is passionate about. He worked on VR and not work for Facebook. Facebook just happened to be paying for it.
