I still can’t believe they gutted the id Tech team.

    At the end of the day, Doom:TDA was a flop and took 5 years to make. Eternal wasn’t as good as 2016. Someone has to be held accountable for their games not being hits. It’s unfortunate, but you can’t keep flushing money down the toilet forever.

    I had hoped to see Microsoft use the idtech engine for a halo or gears game, but I guess that’s definitely not happening now.

      87% positive reviews on Steam doesn’t seem like a flop to me.

      Unless you mean overall sales… but in that case iD was completely sabotaged by Microsoft’s Gamepass.

        Reviews mean nothing if the game doesn’t sell. It flopped. Microsoft wouldn’t gut a studio that made a successful game.

        It’s funny how people flip flop between game pass causing bad sales, and game pass being a gigantic flop that no one pays for, depending on the point they want to prove.

          I assume you have previous comments of mine about Gamepass to prove your point? If not (which is the case), then this just seems like a weak whataboutism.

          Well, that’s where the point about Gamepass comes in. People would play it there in lieu of purchasing it. Hence my use of the word sabotage.

          That all said, I don’t expect you’ll understand this. Your comment history reads like you’re trying to win a Defender of the Status Quo and Capitalism award.
