    This story says "id" is dumping the PC as their lead development platform. Not quite sure what that means. I skimmed the article it links to, and it looks like they're working on a multi-platform environment. If so, I count that as a good thing. They more they can do to maximize the number of platforms they can develop for while minimizing the work, the better. One hopes they fine-tune the controls for each system though.

    It doesn't surprise me. A lot of gaming companies are developing for the Console and porting back to the PC. I think they console companies make it easier to do that.

    However, I don't view this as a good thing. I have yet to play a game ported from a console to a PC that didn't feel dumbed down. 🙁
