Carmack: PC games no longer prime focus for id Software


It's been a week since QuakeCon but quotes from id Software's John Carmack continue to pop up on various web sites. The latest is Tom's Hardware where the co-founder and lead programmer of games like Doom, Quake and the upcoming Rage has stated that the PC platform is no longer the main platform for id's upcoming titles.

According to Carmack, "We still think the PC is a market worth supporting, but we're not making decision around the PC. It's probably more of the junior partner in the cross-platform strategy, although obviously, our day-to-day development is predominately on the PC." He added that they are "contractually obligate" to release Rage for the PC and Doom IV, id's other in-house title, will almost certainly show up on the PC as well, with Carmack saying, "Even if it was a marginal business case, we would still do it because it's the right thing to do."
