Carmack’s principals are worth their weight in gold. Glad we’ve got people like him around.

Because I love to do anything on my PC, and I love to game online too :)

No support for Vista is a smart move IMHO. DX10 is a flop (as with the false DX10 hardware requirements).

Oh, id’s going for the big money, all right. That’s why they’ve headed into the console market. It’s just that Carmack’s insistence on doing the Right Thing means that their engines are well designed and much more easily ported than an engine that has been constructed ad hoc for one specific platform.

Now if only their engine licensees would maintain that cross-platform awesomeness.

I wish more developers understood that you can do the Right Thing and still rake in the cash.

P.S. Why the Christ can’t I post anything with my regular login? It just takes me back to the article page with nary a complaint, and totally fails to accept my post.

…I really like to see that someone has the backbone not to go for the big money but has still some rules to apply to the logic.

I wish more publishers to think that way, because my system is a dual-boot running XP and Linux, but I hope it never ever has to see the Vista-Virus again! (I was young and needed the money - no, I read it would solve my problems and I was desperate enough to try).
