Almost all coders at Id Software have been fired, following Xbox reset

Possibly the worst choice they could have ever made. I have no faith in Xbox’s technical ability anymore.

End of a software juggernaut. ID Software engines were always top class.

I often wonder in times like this if John Carmack and Co. feel any guilt or remorse for selling to Zenimax (Who then sold to MS)?

By all accounts they had a self-sustaining business. And now it's gone by corporate decree.

I think the xbox reset is technically a surrender, at this point I'd be surprised if they ever make another one.

		From a marketing standpoint, most gamers would associate a “reset” as a final surrender in technical troubleshooting their Xbox. They want gamers to “reset” their expectations, but I don’t see that panning out well as a strategy.

And why did it start suddenly mostly stuck at captcha (proof of work I guess) stage?

		If your browser doesn't leak enough personally identifiable data, it assumes you are a bot. I find it ironic, considering the page only displays scraped data.

This website doesn't load on Firefox, it just refreshes continuously. I even tried turning off my adblocker and it still does the same thing.

		That's odd, it always worked fine for me. I have had that issue with archive.today, though.
