    All the storefronts - Steam, GOG, Epic - are excitedly promoting
    QuakeCon and using it to promote games. It's not that I have any
    problem with that*, but it's REALLY WEIRD for me to hear "QuakeCon"
    and then see Microsoft and Bethesda games listed right next to the
    usual Id titles.

    It's almost feels sacrilegious, even.

    But I guess that's the world we live in, now. Next year we'll probably
    seen Doom-guy in a cross-over even with Animal Crossing...






    * beyond my usual sneering condescension towards rampant
    commercialism, of course ;-)
