Quake Wars was made by Splash Damage. I think iD may have published it though.

Quake Wars is an excellent game on a PC and a sub-bar game PC game on consoles, the same formula doesn't work as fluidly.

If you judge them on their Console efforts then yeah, they suck both in way of development and publishing but their PC efforts are held in very high regards. As for the Pomero comment... I have to agree only if iD takes the same route Bethesda did. Please iD, don't become glitchy devs that aim to support a single console for extended periods of time. Bethesda has never been perfect but they have made one of my all time favorite games and it worked well on both consoles... Oblivion. As for Fallout, not so much.

Strive to become better with this new partnership iD, not worse.

Oh yeah, they were bought up earlier today. There's an official statement on their site:

I for one am very happy for id. I feel like this can only mean good things, unless someone can point out to me otherwise.

I completely agree. I hope that the folks at Bethesda are able to get some help from id as far as game engines etc.

It's not that big a deal is it? I mean, Doom 4 will still be made by Id, they just have potentially a bigger budget in future, plus have the ability to share tech with the likes of Bethesda and the Bioshock devs if they want to.

Zenimax and Bethesda are among the most reputable companies around at the moment.

Lets be honest, iD peaked with Quake 2, Doom 2 and Return to Caslte Wolfenstein and mabye Quake 3, personally I thought Q2 was a lot better. Anything since then has been an average FPS at best.

You should be thankful that EA didnt pick them up. Take a look at what happened to Rare once EA picked them up...Viva Pinata, thats what bloody happened lol!

EA didn't buy Rare, Microsoft did...and Viva Pinata is actually kinda cool, if you haven't tried it don't just pass it up cos it looks kiddie
