Jobs’ Joystick
Yet Steve Jobs reportedly doesn’t play games – or even like them!
So tells us id Software technical director John Carmack during his QuakeCon keynote:
“The truth is Steve Jobs doesn’t care about games. This is going to be one of those things that I say something in an interview and it gets fed back to him and I’m on his s***head list for a while on that, until he needs me to do something else there. But I think that that’s my general opinion. He’s not a gamer,” Carmack explained in an interview published today.
“It’s difficult to ask somebody to get behind something they don’t really believe in. I mean obviously he believes in the music and the iTunes and that whole side of things, and the media side of things, and he gets it and he pushes it and they do wonderful things with that, but he’s not a gamer. That’s just the bottom line about it.”
Oh and beware iPhone freaks – no sign of Doom 3 on your spangly new mobile gaming platform either.
