yeah, and still even while they're not on sale they're still cheap. just check out the quake pack on steam: QUAKE Collection on Steam

just 30euro(40dollar) for quake and quake2 plus all mission packs for both, plus quake3arena and team arena

thats nothing, especially considering how amazing the games are <3 (well except q3a )

what i meant was they should make it abandon ware. bad choice of words. its old and only has a small following. do you think it sells enough to be worth it?

Probably, yes.

Think of it like this, id Software has always essentially been an independent game maker --- small number of staff. I don't know how things changed when they decided to be acquired by Besthesda/Zenimax, but id Software is not (and never has been) a giant company.

They aren't an EA or Valve.

The games usually go on sale every once in a while where you can get most of their old games at Steam for not much $$$.

If id Software sells Quake on Steam for $9.99, why would you call it abandonware?

Abandonware is where the publisher no longer sells something or no longer exists to sell it.

I miss my quake CD,

I still have Quake1 in a nice little ZIP file

24MB of zipped pure nostalgia ready to go.

Dudes. If you have the CD version, and installed both pak0.pak and pak1.pak, you don't have those problems.

Have the decency and use Google at least

My daughters mentality :It's simply easier if you do it for me. haha, wtf.

For the most part, all we would really need to play online FREELY is a decent player model replacement, and recompiled gpl maps with new textures.
So for 90% of the online scene thats, 1 model (142frames) and dm3. Done. Or spend 2 minutes and 5$.

Sounds?

i agree. they should label it abandon ware.

abandonware is if the copyright has been passed and the maker lets it go. quake is still very much copyrighted

[Syluxguy28O3]

frowned upon? they should be giving the thing away by now..
