CEO of id Software takes a few moments to answer some questions for GamesDomain (http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/depart/dec02/toddhollenshead.html). While not being that interesting to myself overall as it has a lot to do with consoles, you have to love this analogy made by Todd Hollenshead. Thanks [H]ard|OCP (http://www.hardocp.com/)
GD: Were you disappointed to see the E3 demo leaked, or secretly pleased, since the overwhelming response has been positive?
TH: That was very disappointing. As a developer, as a creator of a work, you never like to see you work released in a format that wasn't under your control. It's kind of like someone coming up behind you and dropping your pants in front of everybody - it may impress the crowd, but it's not a particularly good feeling.
