[–] superxpro12 2mo ago ↗ End of a software juggernaut. ID Software engines were always top class.I often wonder in times like this if John Carmack and Co. feel any guilt or remorse for selling to Zenimax (Who then sold to MS)?By all accounts they had a self-sustaining business. And now it's gone by corporate decree.
