Maybe 3D is just what Quake needs? If people had 3D televisions, or at least, computer monitors, they could watch QL-GTV games in 3D. Being that the game is played from the first-person perspective, it might be really cool seeing a rocket seemingly shoot out of the screen. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if 3D technology is better suited for video-games, than it is for regular television or movies.

If Nintendo's presumably patented technology is sold to television and monitor makers, it is not inconceivable people (especially gamers), would buy them. If QL is better in 3D than other games (especially other FPS's), it would have the 3D edge. Putting Quake in 3D would also renew interest among older Quake players, many of which have become somewhat tired of the game. Additionally, because QL is, at least, partially free, and because initially there wouldn't be many other 3D games period (excluding portables), and possibly no other partially-free 3D games, it would give people reason to play it. If they play it enough, and they watch enough pro-matches, it might be enough to keep them around and possibly keep them playing as long as many of us have been playing.

Goofy glasses, no one wants to wear. Some people are willing to make the compromise. If there is no compromise, everyone is more willing to use 3D. With that, we can expect a rise in 3D tv/monitor sales. We might just come to find, this 3D thing is exactly what Quake needs, and when it needs it.
