00:00Quake 1 is without a doubt an all-timer FPS, but not everyone involved has fond memories of it.
00:06Co-designer Sandy Peterson took to X on Quake's 30th anniversary with a blunt message,
00:12Quake ruined id software. Peterson called the game an amazing feat of art, programming and design,
00:19but said, I think it broke us spiritually, noting how many devs left id after it came out.
00:26What did id Big Boss John Carmack say in response?
00:30Well, that Peterson had a point. I pushed everyone too hard, wrote Carmack. Sorry, Sandy.
00:37Even John Romero popped up to agree. We were building the road while also building the car,
00:42he wrote. It was not sustainable for everyone. It really was a hell of a game, said Romero.
