The core of what I do is solve problems, whether that's in graphic engine flow or rockets. I like working on things that are going to have an
IMPACT one way or the other.
Well, I guess the former's ok but the latter might be bad for your new spaceflight business.
For a computer nerd like myself, this is just as sad as hearing that my favourite band won't be making music any more.
That's pretty pathetic, isn't it.:)

At least he'll go out with a bang, not like that other guy who once worked for id and later promised to make us his bitch.

Well, at least that other guy managed to make us bitch. So he did keep his promise, kind of.
People have been saying this for about... oh... three years now. The only one who knows is John - and he'll quit when he gets tired of it. That's all.
Developers at Id have all been asked this question at one point in time, and all have said "yeah, he probably has one or two more engines in him." All have pretty much indicated that he has a "holy grail" engine he has constantly been working towards since he wrote his first side-scroller. Once he gets that done, he'll probably go launch himself into space and work on the teleporter on Phobos himself.
I think I speak for just about everyone when I say

Oh, OK.
As a fellow pasty-white awkward nerd, I salute you John. You made geek cool.
So you are a very interesting diesel engine which is commonly used in marine & rail applications which can't spell but sounds really cool...
I'm confused.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
It will be interesting to see if he, being a Slasdot reader, will comment on this...
Since he will start working on DNF, I guess he will never actually be retiring.
Impressive! You mention "thief" three times and spell it three different way! ;-)
