    What AAA studios still use their own solutions now, except for Valve and Rockstar?

    But, Id Software INVENTED FPS game engines! Valve didn’t even invent Half-Life’s first engine; they borrowed an early prototype of Quake.

    Yeah, I know Carmack isn’t on the payroll nowadays, but there’s still some competent people who know how to design 3D engines on their own.

      Excellent point. In fact unreal (tournament) were the primary competitor to quake back in the day. And now it’s full circle with id using unreal engine…

      Glad that whole competition thing is working out so well for consumers.
