According to Kotaku’s anonymous sources the entire id Tech engine team has been laid off, with only one employee reportedly remaining. One source said they don’t know how the studio will continue supporting the engine, saying: “The institutional knowledge is just not there. id Tech as a technology is probably dead forever.” After the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations, id Software reportedly has no new game currently approved for development.

REPORT: Jason Schreier on PlayStation’s decision to end physical game media🚀 ✅Sony considers their digital player base is large enough to do without those who continue wanting physical discs ✅They won’t change their retail distribution ✅Stores sell empty boxes with only download code ✅They’re convinced that over time, players will accept a 100% digital gaming future ✅They don’t think it’s necessary to maintain contact with fans ✅They trust the strength of their brand and the loyalty of their community, and imagine they will continue to support their digital games Regarding profitability: ✅When Sony sells a first party physical game to a retailer, the retailer gets around ~30% of the sale price ✅Digital helps them keep 100% of it ✅They expect to significantly increase their profit margins This is absolutely disgraceful to read if true. I’m genuinely repulsed by Sony💿

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes AI could have helped Destiny stay profitable after a report said the game’s biggest problem was the high cost of producing a constant stream of new content. “If only some sort of newfangled technology could come along and make it possible to overcome bullet point #1 and enable games like Destiny to thrive!” The report said Destiny was only occasionally profitable because Bungie had to keep making new content to retain players, which was very expensive. Sweeney believes AI could ease that process for live-service games in the future.
