Life After Doom 390
An anonymous reader writes "What's next for the maker of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein? Chris Morris of CNN Money talks to id's CEO, who tells us the next id game won't be anything like the others. Rather than a re-hash of its sci-fi or WWII themes, CEO Todd Hollenshead says, 'I'd like to try something new.' [Hollenshead also notes that an as yet unidentified developer with 'a name that people recognize' has licensed the Doom 3 engine.]"

From the article:
Raven Software has licensed the engine for the still-under-wraps "Quake 4".

Virtual Game Software Company ! They could take their vast experience of massive efforts to produce games, codify the processes and results (which I expect that *already* do), then create a game out of it. Players compete to hire and train the best developers, generate new 3D engines, market and devliver products. After all, everyone seems so interested in the minutia of the business as it is (seriously).
For that matter, why not a more generic Virtual CEO, where you try to mask loses from Wall Street, lobby Congress to pass favorable laws, get the best outsourcing deals... (OK, not as much fun done that way, way *too* real;)
Man, I should (virtually) patent that idea !
