John Carmack Laments Lack of id iPhone Game, Hacking iPhone Games Together in the Meantime

In my eyes id/Cramack has proven they are the biggest BS hacks of the industry - remember the stupid hype around Doom 3, when even CNN etc was talking about the release?
And remember what an utter FLOP it turned out tobe?
I also remember how a lot of stupid idiot bought into the hype and expected loads of games using the Tech4 (Doom 3's) engine and how some of us who said it has no chance because it's an unfinished, un-optimized load of bollocks, only lightning looks nice, rest is useless and utterly wasteful, only works for stupid close-spaced games or requires constant loading - and what happened? NOBODY EVER USED IT. It's a crap, we were right, period.
Yes, you read it right: nobody other than id or one of their pet-projects used it - in fact only 4, yes FOUR games had ever been developed using Tech 4 engine: Doom 3 by id, Quake 4 by Raven (chosen by id as a long-time collaborator), Prey by Human Head (ex-Raven people) and ET: Quake Wars by SPlash Damage (bunch of former Quake modder.)
In the meantime Unreal Engine became the world's most successful engine (well, only if we don't count Unreal Engine2 which was licensed by ~500+ companies), licensed by 80-100 games plus movie studios, education etc.

So knowing all this background makes me rolling my eyes when I read this BSing about "I'm really bullish on the iPhone market. (...) "It's a market I really want to be in, we just didn't have the resources to go do something for the initial launch" - yeah pal, had you had come out with something worthy in the past decade so you would have the "resources" now...

...go back and code for iPhone, that's for you, I agree and leave the games to someone who actually can make games, based on good engines.
You guys couldn't make a decent engine for more than a decade, let alone a real game - iPhone can be your platform though, I give it to you.
