In an interview with Kotaku, id co-founder John Carmack said no significant changes are being made to either company. The studio will continue to be run under the direction of Carmack and the company’s principal employees are all sticking around. Bethesda will publish all of id's games going forward, except for those already signed with third-parties, including the Activision-backed Wolfenstein and the EA Partners-planned Rage.
Carmack hopes the matchup will make business dealings easier for id Software. No financial details were revealed regarding the acquisition, but it is likely to be bigger than Bethesda's recent deals.

Bethesda is really becoming a major power in the computer gaming community.

Woah!
Excellent news!

This gives Bethesda access to id's Tech engine instead of licencing Gamebryo's engine. It would save the company TONS of money in licencing fees, though as a developer it would make me sad to see a switch of off Gamebryo entirely as it is a fantastic engine. All in all, i think this is a good move on both parts.

Woah, this is definitely a surprise but I am a huge fan of both and own multiple titles from them. This could be good news for gamers overall imo :-) .

As long as they don't go EA style with the buyouts, this one should be good.
