id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead recently discussed a number of topics with Kikizo, the foremost among them being his belief that the gaming industry is driven primarily by innovative technology.

"[Gaming is] a technology-driven industry," Hollenshead asserted, "and I think people who say it's not a technology-driven industry don't know what industry that they're in, and they probably won't be here for very long - we've seen those people come and go over the years, when they say we're at the apex of technology and something else is going to take over."

Admitting that creativity plays an important role in evolving the industry, Hollenshead maintained his stance that technology is a key, ever-advancing role. "I think that there's a long ways for technology to go to continue to drive innovation and change within the business, and I think that happens on the hardware side, and on the software side as well, and certainly that has been one of the core things that has been key to id's success."
