CEO of id Software takes a few moments to answer some questions for GamesDomain. While not being that interesting to myself overall as it has a lot to do with consoles, you have to love this analogy made by Todd Hollenshead. Thanks Shack!

GD: Were you disappointed to see the E3 demo leaked, or secretly pleased, since the overwhelming response has been positive?

TH: That was very disappointing. As a developer, as a creator of a work, you never like to see you work released in a format that wasn't under your control. It's kind of like someone coming up behind you and dropping your pants in front of everybody - it may impress the crowd, but it's not a particularly good feeling.
