R.I.P 2013.

ql 2.0

btw, this tweet is interesting:

if they don't want me to talk on stage at Quakecon next year, we'll just have to fill up the lobby like the old days. :-)

so ETA on a new arena shooter just went up by 10 years?

seems the rest of id just cares about stuff like doom 3 / rage

wonder how long before bethesda shuts down quake live

interesting article on this and why linux was abandoned and it certainly eludes to why linux was dropped and why ql is now a standalone game

certainly doesn't appear that its' ever going on steam either

also apparently linux users on ql make up 5% according to besset, not 2% as sponge indicated.

carmack was holding things together but that glue finally came loose

5% in 2009 when the Linux port was released. 4 years later it's 2%.

4 years old

Comments in that are pretty funny to read with current knowledge. It also shows you can't trust that 4 year old stat.

" I personally am looking forward to Rage, and Doom 4, when they WILL come out for Linux"

What if ttimo leaves? "he is not likely to jump ship any-time soon"

"also, they will NEVER and EVER release a linux version of steam"

The end of an era.

... and the beginning of a new one!

he musta played realm of steel rats and space camp on the same day
