id gets bought by Bethesda.
In the past decade Bethesda has brought us Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3, with New Vegas being outsourced.
In the past decade id has brought us Doom 3 with Quake 4, Quake Wars and 2 Wolfensteins being outsourced.
I'm thinking being acquired by Bethesda was a good thing for this game.
And yet here we are with the first id game that looks like the PC was an after-thought. And don't bring up Bethesda and Fallout as if that was a good thing. Not everyone likes deep tactical RPG's turned into first person shooters.
Not everyone like sunshine and puppies and cupcakes, either, doesn't make it a bad thing.
It's the first id game where PC is an afterthought, true.
It's also the first id game since the 360 and PS3 were released. Those consoles are what, 6 years old now?
I won't blame Bethesda for id jumping on the console bandwagon, I'll blame id. It's especially funny because they more or less missed that bandwagon, too.
