I wish ID software just released files for old games in public domain. I do not think they are making any significant money off it right now.

- paulryanrogers 6y agoID software is owned by Zenimax which makes a considerable sum from their franchises. There's a surprising long tail on the originals too.
- stretchcat 6y agoZenimax got bought by Microsoft.
- yaomtc 6y agoThey agreed to be bought by Microsoft, the deal hasn't been finalized yet
- flatiron 6y agoI think it’s wonderful they way it is. Code is gpl so tons of ports. But because of this more people buy the game so they get money.
- astlouis44 6y agoWith Microsoft being the open source friendly company they are now, they should really start pushing the browser edition that runs on WebAssembly. This port is one of the coolest showcases of WebGL/WASM I've seen in years, and I'm convinced we're going to see more games ported in this way.

- tomc1985 6y agoThey're plenty cheap on all the major game stores and overwhelmingly easy to find download links to. Not sure that sort of thing is necessary
