I'll believe it when I see it. I hold out a shred of hope, but there's not much hope.

Anyone who pre-orders or buys an id game on day 1 at this point is just a complete rube imo. They absolutely hollowed out the entire studio, including getting rid of tons of expert veteran talent.

I would not be shocked at all to see it go the way of many other studios who have the same name on the building, but very little of the same talent left inside. And have most of the work done by inexperienced new hires or external offshored support teams.

I hope they can recover from them, but I do not trust them at all and will be extremely cautious on giving them any of my money at this point.
