IGN writes: "For years seminal first-person shooter developer id Software partnered with Activision to publish its games. That changed on Monday, when EA revealed that it had signed a deal with id to publish Rage, the upcoming shooter/driving action game that was revealed last year. It's something of a change for id, part of what co-founder and programming wizard John Carmack described as a new vision for the company. After a couple years of relative quiet, id is busy working on a number of projects, from Rage, to Quake Live (a free, Web-based version of its famous game Quake III Arena), to Doom 4."
