I don't care about the publisher - id is able to control how their products are made and sold.
That may have been true in the 90's but not anymore. id isn't Blizzard or Valve. Their games aren't guaranteed to sell at least 5 million units and they don't have any steady source of revenue to fall back on. That's why they agreed to be bought out by Bethesda/Zenimax. Bethesda/Zenimax published the game, so they decided which platforms to release on and which platforms to focus on. Like most other publishers, they decided to focus on consoles.
A PC-oriented approach would still allow for a simultaneous console release, but with a clearly superior PC version at launch.
It would have also resulted in inferior console versions. Porting a high-end PC game to consoles never ends well unless you make significant changes to the console versions. It's much, much easier to focus on consoles and then just port the game to PC, where higher resolutions, AA, AF and framerates automatically make the game look and run better with minimal effort.
This would have only increased the value of the engine to prospective licensees.
id has clearly stated that they are not going to license this engine to anyone outside of Bethesda, so that's a moot point.
Even most indies are looking to pay the rent first and foremost, they just see innovation as the way to do that because they don't have the dev budget to focus on much else.
I disagree. If someone has the ability to code, script, design levels, create art or audio for videogames and their primary goal is to make money, it makes much more sense for them to join an established development studio. Unlike indie developers, professional developers get paid on a regular basis regardless of how much their games end up selling. They also get benefits like health insurance, 401Ks, etc. As an indie developer, you don't get any benefits and you only get paid when your game actually starts selling. It's incredibly risky and doesn't really make any sense unless you're really passionate about creating unique and innovative games. That's why Brian Mitsoda decided to go indie. He could easily get a job at Obsidian or Bioware, since many of his ex-Troika/Black Isle buddies are there, but he decided to go indie instead because he didn't want to bow to the whims of publishers.
