A long-serving id Software developer has publicly criticised Microsoft after this week's layoffs, saying around half the studio was let go despite years of acclaimed work.
Of course not, and Henry Ford for some reason doesn’t run Ford anymore. It’s still the company that invented the assembly line, and id software created the FPS.
There is institutional knowledge that makes id software unique, and MS is making a big mistake firing so many.
I watched a few videos about this situation last night and have a better idea what’s going on.
The shift in focus to the core IPs, which at this point appear to be Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Wolfenstein, could be a great idea, if it means we get one of them every 18 months or so, as vs the decades between main releases the current model is heading towards.
What I really hope is that all this talent being released into the wild gather together to form some new developers.
