I see, well if they gave out those licenses, then good riddance. There's nothing to miss.

Yes there is, they were great! :(

Yeah, DJ, come on, they weren't doing anything bad like that, they were just the most incompetently-run developer in the history of the industry!

That's not true, there's far worse. I mean, they stayed in business for over a dozen years while working on the game, after all. A truly incompetently-run developer wouldn't have lasted anywhere near that long. For perhaps the most extreme case, remember the hilariously incompetent, legally sketchy disaster that was Gizmondo...

I mean, 3DR definitely was mismanaged, but it wasn't the worst ever.

If Carmack has ever actually been involved with any of the gameplay of id's games, I'd be surprised. He loves building and tweaking engines and that's about it.

I guess that's probably true, isn't it... and the Doom 4 engine has to be done now. So yeah, maybe it'll be good, we'll see. Rage was good.

People hated it because it was total garbage.

Yeah, no. DNF isn't anywhere near as good as it should have been, and as I said the consolization was the main reason for that, but it's an okay game. I've had some fun with it. I've heard the console versions are awful, but I have it for PC.
