Quake's Future Depends on Quake Live

Shacknews has a report
from John Carmack's QuakeCon address where the id Software Technical Director
indicates that the future of the Quake series is probably depended on the
success of their upcoming free Quake Live project, quoting him saying:
"The door is not completely shut for another Quake project, and I'd say probably
the success of Quake Live is going to determine whether or not we do another
Quake Arena project." They
also say Mr. Carmack says the Wolfenstein franchise is not as
likely a candidate for the free-to-play model as Quake, based on the realism
factor: "You're running around fighting the Nazis and there's a billboard with
[an advertisement] on it." A final note of interest from the talk is that the
Quake Live name change was because the
Quake Zero title was
thwarted by a domain squatter.
