Apparently Id Software co-founder John Carmack hasn’t seen our list of Android app millionaires. In an interview with Mobiledia’s Margaret Rock, Mr. Carmack said that developing on Android is not as profitable as iOS and that few Android gamers would pay $20 per title. Android users, brace yourselves this might get a little uncomfortable.

The Apple iPhone is to receive a slew of id Software-related games soon, including Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein and even Rage titles, id’s John Carmack has confirmed.
id Software, the legendary videogames developer behind games including Doom, Wolfenstein and Quake, has been bought by ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda is responsible for recent games including Fallout 3, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and upcoming titles including WET, Brink and Rogue Warrior, all unveiled at E3 2009.
Doom Resurrection, a new game in the legendary Mars/Hell-set first-person shooter series, is coming to Apple iPhones next week. The game uses “downsampled” art from the PC and console hit Doom III, but is an entirely new game, with new plot unfolding across eight new levels with around five hours of gameplay. It has already been described as “one of the true next-generation games on the iPhone.”
ID software boss and gaming legend John Carmack has revealed his firm has something very special in store for the iPhone, and no, it’s not another Doom conversion.
