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.
There are probably far more fans of Fallout 3/New Vegas and its direction than rabid fanboys of the original two games. I really wish people would drop this automatic attitude of "not what you wanted" being the equivelant of "not good", and simply enjoy or not enjoy games on their own merit.
Personally, I feel a franchise as rich as the Fallout universe is
more than its original format. Some of my favorite games have been beloved games that were reimagined as a different format or twist on the tone.
