This video is a short documentary talking about how idTech developers and how they came together to make their own employee-owned indie studio. Good stuff!

Companies firing employees for AI, only for that AI to help crack their games, leak their exclusives, and those fired employees now create their own studios making the market more competitive

    It wasnt for AI in this case. IdSoftware had arguably the best engineers in the industry. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal look beautiful and run on junk GPUs to this day.

    Something happened after Doom Eternal and next game came up... Just mid. Amazing cutscenes, very mid gameplay, garbage performance due to mandatory ray tracing, while looking same as previous games.

    Game didnt sell well, parent company fired people EA style.

    Also they fucked Mick Gordon their music producer who did music for all doom games.
