Following the news developer id Software has been significantly impacted by Asha Sharma's sweeping Xbox job cuts, John Carmack has shared his thoughts.
The thing i am hyped here for is Arcane possibly going independent. This was never a studio for being confined to the hard structure of a company like Microsoft or Bethesda, who put monetization first.
I really hope we get a revival of a studio thats comparable to “Through the looking Glass” out of this. Nowadays they have probably more options of being profitable, when i look at projects like witchfire.
At least Arcane can create new IPs. Id Software are kind of tied to existing IPs. Doom is iconic and now its in the hands of someone who laid off most everyone who worked on it. If those developers decide to go independent and create something new that would be interesting but the loss of the Doom franchise is significant.
