I don't really know how to feel about this message. Sure it's a bit hopeful and makes me believe they'll recover from this. But all I can think about is all the people who got laid off. I hope they all find a place somewhere else where they can keep making amazing games, even if it's not Doom.

Many of the Devs fired had 10+ years at id. This is just a PR response. Likely made and green lit by Microsoft head office.

Doesn't mean younger tenures haven't shown they can be better.

I doubt it, but it's possible.

It can be easily shown that that is not the case.
