EDIT: It's unclear if he's left ID or not, but a 'Bethesda Community Lead' says that "The technical leadership he provides for games in development at id Software is unaffected". If correct, I think this just says that he's been very lightly involved with the day to day at ID for a while now. CTO at a startup isn't some part time job.

“I have fond memories of the development work that led to a lot of great things in modern gaming – the intensity of the first person experience, LAN and internet play, game mods, and so on. Duct taping a strap and hot gluing sensors onto Palmer’s early prototype Rift and writing the code to drive it ranks right up there. Now is a special time. I believe that VR will have a huge impact in the coming years, but everyone working today is a pioneer. The paradigms that everyone will take for granted in the future are being figured out today; probably by people reading this message. It’s certainly not there yet. There is a lot more work to do, and there are problems we don’t even know about that will need to be solved, but I am eager to work on them. It’s going to be awesome!”
