Kind of tangential, but I'm really saddened by Id not releasing the source code to their engines since Doom 3 BFG-ish. I know he doesn't work there anymore, but I got reminded earlier today when Linus (of techtips fame) lamented the fact that there's only a single game that runs on the fantastic Id tech 7 engine.

At least Demonware will get direct unlicensed access to their netcode when Microsoft finally buys them.



ID was bought by Bethesda, bought by Zenimax, bought by Microsoft. Those suits don't see the personal gain from release.
