To many, id Software co-founders John Carmack and John Romero were the Lennon and McCartney of videogames: Their friendship was strained to the breaking point by creative friction, but the work they did together literally changed the world. They've both done good stuff since then, but, well... it's not quite the same, is it? But while some deeply committed fans may have dreamed that the passage of time would enable them to come together again to work on a new masterpiece, Carmack recently said on Twitter that it ain't gonna happen.
Idle dreams about a renewed partnership between the Johns were given fresh life during an AMA held by Romero last week to mark the release of his autobiography, Doom Guy: Life in First Person. Naturally, questions about their split and the state of their current relationship came up, and Romero indicated that their differences were not irreconcilable. In fact, they're still in touch.
