Carmack: Rage launch was a "cluster f@#$’

Bethesda has released a patch for id’s latest shooter, RAGE, fixing a number of bugs and adding graphics engine settings "due to popular demand."

Legendary gaming pioneer John Carmack enraged a number of PC gaming faithful by saying: "We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games" and describing problems with video drivers "a real cluster !@#$."

"We knew that all older AMD drivers, and some Nvidia drivers would have problems with the game, but we were running well in-house on all of our test systems. When launch day came around and the wrong driver got released, half of our PC customers got a product that basically didn’t work," Carmacktold Kotaku.
