In an interview with Kizko, id CEO Todd Hollennhead and Rage lead designer Matt Hooper talk about how they believe that tech innovation is the key to gaming.

“(Gaming is) a technology-driven industry, and I think people who say it’s not a technology-driven industry don’t know what industry that they’re in, and they probably won’t be here for very long - we’ve seen those people come and go over the years, when they say we’re at the apex of technology and something else is going to take over,” Hollenshead said. “And I really do think those people are wrong. I think that there’s a long ways for technology to go to continue to drive innovation and change within the business, and I think that happens on the hardware side, and on the software side as well, and certainly that has been one of the core things that has been key to id’s success.”
