Paul Steed Responds
by Maarten Goldstein, Jun 03, 2000 11:28am PDTStomped managed to get ahold of Paul Steed, who, as you all know, was fired when DOOM3 development started at id. Here's a big chunk of what he has to say on the subject
<snip> My time at id was priceless and no doubt ranks among the most memorable of my life. However, everyone involved in this fiasco knows it's complete and utter Bullshit. I hope the ones responsible for this wasteful and pointless act enjoy what they see in that mirror every day. My committment and dedication to id was unquestioning - people are just blind to their insipid loyalties and petty insecurities.
Bah. Whatever. At least John set the record straight. Time and PR crap may try to change that, but he was man enough to speak up. For that he will always have my admiration, respect and assurance that when he's sick of all that mess...he knows where to find me.

That happen to you?
I'll stick to CS...way better gameplay and no ridiculous rail gun.
You're wrong.
He has contributed to your life, if you enjoy Quake 3, which I'm assumign you do. (You're reading this thread, after all.. )
He made the models what they were. I'm upset because I'm going to miss his contribution to DOOM... and.. on some level, I feel sorry for everyone who loses a job, because I have compasion.
SO yeah.
Paul Steed has done nothing for me.
Therefore, why would I give one rats fucking ass what happens to this guy?
Would he be there if I got fired from my job?
Thank you. Thread Closed

I went ahead and ported RA3 to Linux today, both server and client. It went fairly quickly and looks great. The Linux version has all of the features of the Windows version (including ArenaSpy!), except the MP3 player, which I may port over in a future release.
The Linux version will be available at the same time as the Win32 release. Currently Mac support is up in the air, as no one has released instructions for building native mods on the Mac. However, I do plan on porting it to MacOS X once the Quake 3 port for that platform is done.
Sorry if this has been posted before. There's no way in hell I'm gonna comb through 300+ posts.

One Question:
What is the preferred pronunciation of "Gevert"? It it with a "G" like Gibson, goat, gay, glue, grapes, and gag? Or does it start with a "G" sound like genetics, gerbils, gender, genitals, and genocide?
This is the true question.

I guarentee they have done it here before. so it's possible.
I'm sure his replacement will be a nice, safe yes man who wouldn't dare do something like, say what he honestly thinks or feels.
Oh wait, the last one is why I was fired.
Thanks!

Lethal: Exactly. id won't go broke until/if Carmack leaves.
If you asked me to name everyone that worked for id two weeks ago I probably would have only remembered Carmack, Willits, Cloud, Adrian, and Zoid's contracting off the top of my head. Steed leaving is not the end of the world, the end of id, or even a huge change for id relative to what they've gone through.
On Doom3, I sure hope they have the balls to take some risk with it. Q3 is great but not the most innovative game. I still love it for the solid feel and of course the mod-ability and mods.
That's it! Carmack leaves/gets fired from id, starts new company, hires everyone from Valve. BOOM. Instant old-school id software. Ok, I'm putting the crack pipe down now.

For he shall ride onto thee with great vengence.
The creator will become the destroyer, as he cleans the world from its lesser beings.
The coder, the student, and the holy Carmack. Amen.
