Eurogamer: "id Software's Tim Willits has refuted Microsoft's claim that the first-person shooter genre is in its death throes on the PC."
“If I could tell you the game that I turned down twice, it would shock the world,” claims Tim Willits, chief creative officer of Saber Interactive.
Id Software is celebrating 35 years and teasing new offerings in press release.
Employees at Doom studio id Software have voted in favour of union representation with the Communications Workers of America (CWA).
I hope the devs can break away from MS and take their IP's with them in the not to distant future. This entire consolidation and mass industry firings that MS has spearheaded has been nothing but a disaster for everyone except the already rich creatively bankrupt tw@ts at Microsoft.
MS is nothing but a drain on the entire gaming industry and every facet of it.
There is precedent already with bungie separating from Microsoft but I doubt Microsoft will let them go out with their IP’s without paying a huge price
Good for them. From what I hear Microsoft supports it but unfortunately it still doesnt change much but its a step in the right direction. More devs across the entire industry should do this. But regardless, you just love to hate anything Microsoft or xbox. Who's fault is it that sony closed down studios? Who spearheaded that? What i don't understand is that if you hate Microsoft so much why the concern. If this bothers you so much you may want to find another hobby. Free up some of that mental energy for your own well being and stop worrying about shit you cant change.
@FlaggerD care to look at yourself in the mirror, obscure? It's like your 132456th account now, and all of them have you being obsessed with Sony. You just can't handle the fact they literally stomped on Xbox, LMAO! Juggernaut my ass haha. Xbots claiming Expedition 33 winning GotY is a win for Xbox because it was on Game pass is the funniest shit ever LMAO!

Good for them. With AI coming for their jobs and their new corporate overlords working overtime to replace them, it’s a smart move.
It won't be long before Microsoft lays off everyone in gaming and routes that money over into AI.
Time for everyone at Xbox to update the resume and start coming up with Indie game pitches.
The point of unionizing is collective bargaining. Sadly, I do not believe they have any leverage, which is likely why Microsoft isn't impeding them: The investment in AI is gargantuan. We're talking about a data center in Wisconsin that's about 200 city blocks. That is massive and insane.
There is no 'core in the industry'
PC started gaming,
Xbox360 expanded it,
and the PS3 perfected it!
(Not saying the PC sucks! All the multi-plat games i have, are on PC!)
I don't game on pc as i have a crap one and a small monitor plus no money at present to make it relivent for gaming to a degree i like but i do accept pc gaming run things you only have to look at steam and its prices bundles etc does pc ever get a poor port ;) oh and awsd is awkward at present(for me atleast)
@wesley pc never started gaming
xbox expanded the online demand in gaming
Sony- there doing as they always did quality hardware backing it with quality software
oh ok =')
Actually he's quite right. Without PC development, Graphic Card makers, or processing advancement there would be no consoles. In the past and in the future developers rely on PCs to push the power higher and higher. If you take out the PC gaming chapter, guess what? Consoles will suddenly start lacking in terms of graphical advancement and processing power. Every time a new console comes out within a matter of months PC hardware surpasses it - this leads to Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony's R&D staff to look into what's the next top of graphics and processing.
Its not a really big secret that PC advances are what move Sony to developing the Cell and lead Micrsoft to expecting their Graphics Card to run faster and smoother than the newest nVidia cards. That's just what we call progress.
If we take away that "core" idea we're left with longer development times and imho, lackluster turn over rates in terms of console hardware.
tell that x-bro how it is tim
