This is the guy who built up the Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake engines, btw. I knew he was a notorious techlib, but wasn't expecting this much.
I also hate Doom 3. Graphics are ass even for that day's standards, and gameplay feels more like a tech demo than a video game. Do whatever you want with it.
Quantify the harms? Pretty easy actually. Vast expenditures of water and electricity, environmental destruction, etc. we could put exact numbers on these pretty easy. In fact here's a quick result doing a bit of that.
Now quantify the value of data centers. Vast is not a number and I'm taking now not some always shifting future value.
Weird how these types insist on data and numbers except when it doesn't suit them
