Microsoft Says Id Tech Is Safe, Former Staffers Say They’ve Fired Everyone Who Could Save It

Microsoft Says Id Tech Is Safe, Former Staffers Say They’ve Fired Everyone Who Could Save It https://ift.tt/xFsVPMw Id Software was hard hit by the Xbox "reset" this month that saw scores of developers laid off--with more retrenchments on the way--and there's a big fear that the Doom developer could be reduced to a smaller role within the gaming division. Fans of the studio are also concerned with the future of idTech , id Software's proprietary engine that has powered its games through multiple gaming generations, with it possibly being binned in favor of Unreal Engine 5.

HBO's Game of Thrones spinoff drew in 9.99 million viewers across the two services when it premiered in August. House of the Dragon episodes averaged closer to 30 million when accounting for users catching up later in the season, encore airings on HBO, and things like that. There's no data yet on how Yellowstone compares to that number.
