Damn, not ID. Some of the best engineers in the industry and they are all nearly gone?

Not to mention the legacy. Some of those people may have been there for over 25 years, in times where the idea of programming for a dedicated GPU was cutting edge. Absolutely crazy how little respect the industry has for these golden geese.

Even in the age of AI how the hell can you make a game without programmers?
Maybe they will just pump up remakes in other engines, like UE.
Tim S. has this doohickey for Unreal where you tell the AI what game to make and it makes the game! Totally out soon and to be beloved by everyone around /s
