American McGee paid off the debt to John Carmack after 25 years
In the 90s, John Carmack, one of the founders of id Software, periodically lent to developers, helping them get back on their feet. Most of them never returned the money, but not American McGee — two decades later, the creator of “Alice” suddenly repaid his debt.
McGee admitted that he was burdened by this situation and he is glad to finally get the money back. The game designer wrote on Twitter that Carmack changed his life and became a source of inspiration, and for this McGee will forever remain in debt.
Most likely, McGee decided to pay off Carmack after business at his company for the production of plush toys — Mysterious — went uphill. The success of the company was mentioned by Carmack in a Twitter thread.
