A German site, Golem.de, has posted an interview with Todd Hollenshead, id Software's CEO, that reveals id Software and John Carmack are no longer as committed to Linux as they once were. The interview also implies that the Windows version of id Software's next game, Rage, will use Direct3D rather than OpenGL. Todd also mentions that id Software has no plan for a Linux version of the id Tech 5, id Software's latest engine.
