That sounds heavily complicated, the upside downness..

Yes, I probably would be using Rebirth as well based on my tastes. Of course, having a feud about it just sounds silly.

Thank goodness indeed... want to cause a feud with DoomWikia? They have been overshadowing us for too long!

Sad indeed. I dislike Eidos for the way they ruined Looking Glass Studios. They created Thief, Ultima Underworld (basically the inspiration for Hovertank 3d and therefore all FPS), and System Shock (First FPS with any story based elements told in-game, though it suffered from being extremely complicated and having a large number of controls). They were revolutionizing the industry, changing things in ways never before seen and adding a lot of elements to their games to further immersion in the world. Then Dakitana by Ion Storm happened and Eidos said they had to let LGS go for another branch of Ion Storm to survive. Note that one game, no matter how bad, could cause Eidos to tank so much (they were the biggest publisher at the time) so they couldn't fund LGS.

There is a large debate still going on to this day on what exactly happened with LGS. LGS was possibly over ambitious, having three studios even though they were a small game company. They also never made many funds as they created many games that tanked (usually due to being given contracts for games they didn't really want to do, but it was the best deal they could get).
