Games, Not Licensing the Main Priority for ID Software
ID Software’s Todd Hollenshead revealed that ID is determined to keep games such as RAGE and DOOM4 the top priority at the studio while keeping licensing second, “Our philosophy really hasn’t changed from what it’s always been, which is games first, licenses second,” “Working on Rage and working on Doom [4], which are both id Tech 5 games, are certainly our top priorities.” Todd stated in a recent interview with Gamasutra,
In the past, ID has licensed it’s software engines to a relatively small group of studios and the latest engine “id Tech 5″ will be no different, “Our philosophy on that has been that we’d rather have a small number of good-fit, high-quality developer licensees than a bunch that aren’t really good fits or that may not be that bright of a licensee anyway.”
“Part of that is to maintain a certain reputation. “We think that the licensees…are going to have an impact on how the technology is perceived,” the CEO adds.
