>John Carmack's departure from Meta will likely have a negative effect on the company's stock value. He was one of the key figures at Meta and his leaving could signal trouble for the company. Other investors may be concerned aboutMeta's future without Carmack, causing them to sell their shares. This could lead to a drop in the stock price.

Investors hate the VR capex so it might be taken as a positive

No. If you read his full post he confirms that META is positioned at the forefront of VR. Their headset works and so does the software. Carmack wanted more graphic utilization and graphic performance since that’s his stick. He likes to code for graphical optimization and pushing rendering efficiency.

He already had a reduced role before resigning so I doubt it's a big direct impact. But the optics are definitely a blow to the general sentiment of META.

John Carmack was already at a reduced role and it appears that much of his advice which was mostly about what they should optimize was not being made a priority. Optimization got VR to the point of usability but it is unclear if it's still the most critical path.

Although Carmack had a few ideas he always said he didn't know what the right direction to take was. So I don't think his value was that critical, particularly with his reduced role other then for hiring. Also they still have Michael Abrash.
