Okey talking about this, well I am a geek for one and a gamer, so I better go down thru the details about why should you really care if 'iD' does turn 20!
Big facts iD or if you call it that its not just some random letter you can just say iD is iD Software the grandfather/father of all FPS(First Person Shooter/s) and maybe the Grandfather of side-scrolling game madness which was Commander Keen. So why care? If your a full-fledge gamer especially handy with gunning down people with headshots, you should really care.
Wolfenstein 3D
Call Of Duty
iD Software has shaped the Gaming genre FPS that all started with the pixelated hero called "William Blazkowicz's" that was about the Allied freedom fighter or was it a spy I forget, got caught just to infiltrate castle Wolfenstein to over throw the Nazi Regiment of paranormal projects.
Why Care about this, it was the inspiration on how the "Call of Duty" was born and came to be cause of that humble beginnings. Yes Modern Warfare maybe king of the Hill and Counterstrike: Source is still the no.1 First Person Shooter and Online Action game to date. But it wouldn't be what it is if iD never came around, so pay your homage to the Godfathers of FPS cause if it wasn't for them CoD games would never be around. No Headshots, No 1st Kill, No Double/Triple Kills, and the word Godlike when your on a killing spree would never have come around to be.
DOOM
Dead Space 2
iD software, the creator of the Doom Series that inspired Dead Space, Half-Life. Castle Wolfenstein inspiring CoD series, MoH Series, BattleField. Quake inspiring Unreal Series, Gears of War, and the upcoming game Brink. All I know this guys know what they do and they do it right. Mostly anything with a First Person Perspective was all their doing to change games.
iD for 20 year is still doing strong, especially with their upcoming title "RAGE", that will change definition of gaming once again, AI has evolve in FPS but not like how iD delivered it in Rage that was to phenomenal that it will actually make its mark again. Rage is another game for their gaming line and a stepping stone for DOOM 4 with their all new game engine.
Quake
Halo Reach
So why even care if it is turning 20, who cares right, WRONG effin Trolls! Without this innovation that started FPS that was given by iD software, any game with a side scrolling definition that started with Commander Keen and a First Person Perspective especially racing games and shooters cause that FPS is the biggest Genre of them all would never evolve what it is now! So care!
So iD software turns 20, what will happen when it turns 30? Only time will tell, Happy day of days 'iD' you guys are well worth the games and the ones you evolve gaming that you given us. Thank You 'iD'!
