Layoffs at id Software

[Jan 10, 2012, 9:54 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A tweet noted on NeoGAF says that layoffs have hit id Software: "Some layoffs at idSoftware today, perhaps more to come later." Joystiq has a statement from id parent Zenimax Media saying they are "still recruiting and hiring qualified developers" for id Software, and that "development work on future id titles continues unabated," while offering this confirmation of cuts at the formerly indie developer:

As part of its standard business practice, id regularly evaluates staffing to ensure it has a workforce that meets the needs of the studio. As part of that process, some id employees were recently let go.

You dont need talent to make a monster jump out of a closet and shoot it. CARMACK SUCKS ASS
You need a solid--yet lightweight--engine that lasts forever, and is completely customizable. To this day, people are still playing the tech 1 engine. www.nquake.com, www.ezquake.com. You know why? because the engine is solid. CARMACK RULES!

Hey I did not say that their original tech was not great. Its that they abandoned the original players to make garbage sequels. And now Carmack runs his mouth for decades about technology but does not have the nut sack to make a decent GAME. All ID does is make stupid games without investing in the game and without embracing multiplayer in a meaningful way.

Carmack needs to stick that rocket up his butt and light it.
