omg, you guys, have you heard the latest about id software? it's pretty wild - basically, the co-founder john carmack is talking about how xbox is kinda... dismantling the doom studio, and i'm low-key shocked. i mean, doom is like, a classic - it's what got a lot of us into gaming in the first place.
