id Software Employee: "We've been losing top-notch talent ever since the Zenimax purchase"

Damn... ID... is crashing on the inside!

Best of luck !

DOOM is never coming out.

[Septic]

Its doomed.

[FarEastOrient]

I agree and this a sad event, what was the last large game the company has made under Zenimax.

[fenome]

They'll go rogue and make it as an independent studio, they'll call it GLOOM :p

I can't remember the post; but neo-gaf has a more interesting post about this, from 6 months ago.

Why don't they just close the studio then and move the existing employees to other parts of their studios

[Dudebro90]

Give Machine Games Doom 4. They knocked it outta the park with Wolfenstein.

[Parasyte]

Unless you're TRYING to play it on PC.

[Monolith]

Agreed. Took me almost 2 hours to get through the begining level from just exploring and getting lost along the way lol. Its been a long time having a real shooter in my life. I think thats why I love shadow fall so much.

No way .... you couldnt tell at all /s

[Stoppokingme]

If this is true then I can see why he's pissed.

On the other hand that's business for you, you've gotta brown up that nose if you want to get anywhere.

That's why I think so many Devs are leaving major studios to go indie-They are having to sacrifice creative control in order to make games that will deliver a profit, which is fine if you're in it for the money but no so good if you're in it for the pleasure.

Sounds like Zenimax/Bethesda to me... after what Bethesda did to Human Head Studios, I'm not surprised in the least.

these guys are worse than EA.

[xer0]

It pains me to say it but, there were problems at iD software before the acquisition by Zenimax.

[Activemessiah]

Oh no doubt but things got worse 10 folds afterwards, Zenimax are extremely possessive and control freaks... they have displayed this many times before... quite a nasty bunch.

[Baka-akaB]

Still It's the zenimax era that lead to idiocy like hyping a new engine , then making it Bethesda games exlusives , and not even being used at all in bethesda games .

[ninjahunter]

Sheesh, I just read that its been 10 years since doom 3 came out. I know it wasn't perfect or anything but its more justified of a sequel than a lot of copy pastes we see these days. Kinda scary that it might just not happen.

[Omnisonne]

Why would you sell out your studio to a publisher anyway?

Please dont tell me its about more money

[monkey nuts]

Doom delayed indefinitely? Wtf am I supposed to do with this beta code I got with wolfenstein? Keep it in my wolfenstein credit card holder/ wallet no doubt. O_o
