Yesterday, John Romero did a historic livestream on his Twitch channel. He played through a few maps while sharing details about the origins of Quake, design decisions, how Nine Inch Nails ended up doing the soundtrack, and a lot of rich information for fans of the game, at least for me, since I still play QW to this day and didn't know any of this.

But one thing I notice about Romero, or maybe I’m just imagining it, is that he doesnt seem to have anywhere near the same affection for Quake as he does for Doom. Maybe the internal issues back then had something to do with it.
