    It’s worse than that:

    Another dev allegedly stripped to the bone is id Software, which according to 3D Realms founder Scott Miller has lost “most, if not all” of its coders.

    Man. This is heartbreaking. The Idtech engine is dead, the engine that is extremely optimized and much better that that UT engine junk is dead.

      it’s fucking unbelievable how these morons can gut dev studios when the product that came out of them is to the scale of Doom 2016, Eternal and Dark Ages. Ridiculous.

      I hope they band together and start their own company.

      Speaking of which, if you know a way for me to find games made by devs that were once part of larger studios that were gutted, I’m interested.

      Apparently these devs are treated the same way as Mick Gordon
