  • Adrian Carmack es uno de los cuatro fundadores de id Software, junto con Tom Hall, John Romero y John Carmack (no tiene ninguna relación con este último). Él fue uno de los que más acciones tenía en id Software hasta que dejó la compañía, en la cual se desempeñó como artista gráfico desde la creación de la misma. Adrian Carmack dejó la empresa en 2005. En su tiempo dijo a la prensa que sentía que había hecho todo lo que podía en el campo de los videojuegos y que planeaba seguir sus pasiones en el campo del arte. Sin embargo, en septiembre de 2005 el Wall Street Journal reveló que Adrian estaba demandando a sus compañeros de negocios porque fue despedido por ellos en un intento de forzarlo a vender sus acciones (41% de la compañía) por $11 millones de dólares bajo los términos de un contrato que quería que anulara la corte. Se piensa que $11 millones de dólares es una fracción del verdadero valor de las acciones, las cuales se cree que valen cerca de los $43 millones de dólares, después de que la compañía recibiera una oferta de $105 millones de dólares de Activision en 2004. A Carmack se le acredita por crear el término "gibs". Durante el desarrollo de Doom, Adrian construyó modelos de arcilla del Barón del infierno, el protagonista y el Cyberdemon antes de que Gregor Punchatz fuese contratado.

He was a major shareholder of id Software until he left the company. Adrian Carmack left id Software in 2005. At the time, the press was told he felt he had done all he could do in the gaming field and was planning to concentrate on his art. However, in September 2005, the Wall Street Journal revealed that he was taking his former business partners to court, claiming he was effectively fired by them in an attempt to force him to sell his 41% stake in the company for $11 million under the terms of a contract he wants the court to nullify. $11 million is thought to be a fraction of the true value of his stake, which is thought to be closer to $43 million after the company received a $105 million bid from Activision in 2004.
  • Adrian Carmack (born May 5, 1969) is an artist and one of the four founders of id Software, together with John Carmack (no relation), John Romero and Tom Hall. He was one of the artists, along with Kevin Cloud and Paul Steed, who designed the art for Quake. He was an employee and director at id Software. Adrian Carmack’s work hours were tracked by executives, access to board documents denied, and in 2004 his company stopped a practice of paying out profits in dividends so that he would receive less than the other directors at id Software. When Activision offered to purchase id Software for $105 million, only Adrian Carmack desired to accept the offer, but the company was not vended because it would force him to vend his shares back at a fraction of what he would have received in a sale to Activision. Adrian Carmack would have to vend his 41% stake in id Software for $11 million, below the $40 million that he could have received from Activision. In 2005, Adrian Carmack was fired by the other owners of his company after he refused to be purchased for $20 million. In a lawsuit he filed against id Software, he sought to have his employment contract declared invalid.
