According to the latest numbers from VGChartz, sales of id Software's Rage have reached 2.31 million copies on all platforms.
Rage on sale for PC, PS3, X360.
Pete Hines is retiring from Bethesda Softworks after 24 years.
Im glad he leaving. Bethesda has been terrible under his leadership. Redfall, Starfield, Fallout76 and the list goes on an on. His leadership style is outdated. Hopefully, MS bring someone in that knows what they are doing.
I interviewed at Bethesda once, and while there were some very smart mid level team members, the upper ranks (EP/VP/Studio Head) were a total boys' club. The Madmen series ego in that lunch was stiffling.

Pete Hines was against locking out the majority of their console playerbase (ps gamers). Probably disgusted at the hypocrisy of white knight Phil assuring PS gamers that they can still play COD. Acquisition goes through, Hines goes out.
Goodbye Pete.
i wonder if he was asked to leave.
im pretty sure not everyone was on board with the acquisition.
"Quake II is a masterpiece; an enduring first-person shooter that shows iD Software at their technical and artistic best."
- Christian 'Reggie' Wait, TechStomper
The story of John Romero, John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and their legendary company id Software. From Commander Keen to Wolfenstein 3D, from Doom to Quake, they invented the 3D first-person shooter genre, and they transformed PC gaming into a multi-million dollars business.
Doom3 took 5 years to develop.
Rage took 7 years to develop.
Doom 3 sold 2.2 million copies on PCs and 1.3 million on consoles; in total 3.5 million copies
Rage sold 2.3 million copies with all platforms combined.
On per copy basis PC is more profitable.
Hopefully Id learns the lesson, that even though multiplatform development in certain cases is more profitable than PC first development (MW3, GTA), it does not apply to developers who are used to developing hardcore PC games like Crytek and themselves.
Surely DICE did :-)
nice sales. But Doom 4 kick ass
got my copy for 11 bucks 2 months after release....... Nice profit for me....
These numbers can be dismiss from VGCHARTZ they're made up not legit.
