id Douses Flames Following John Carmack's PS3 Performance Comments

I agree... iD hasn't made anything new or revolutionary since, well, hhmmmmm...... Anyway all you need to know is Carmack will do what his new boss tells him to do. You're not one of the "Elite Independant Developers" anymore. Zenimax supports all platforms and now so will you. Welcome to the working world.

Wait, what? How is this different from the old id? Doom and Quake have always been multi-plat.

But the difference there is the APIs present on the systems, Direct X and PSGL (Sony's implimentation of OpenGL|ES) are analogous to the APIs available for PC. It's become much easier to do a port in-house than say, the SNES days, where the APIs (where existent) varied widely.

But the IPs themselves have always been multiplat.
