No doubt Quake will be freeware then. I'm sure they're >forwarding all those checks we sent them for DOOM and DOOM II directly >to charity. Try reading my entire article before just ripping two lines out and quoting it. Quake will NOT be free. That would be stupid. However, Im sure the will release a shareware version (maybe not as involved as the DOOM ones, but something at least). The above sentences you quoted was to an article I was referring to. They were saying that the money is great and all (I believe John Carmack bought two Ferraris, there was a picture of him standing next to one of them), but they wanted to make a 'killer' game. He said he is usually gets embarassed by his older work and wants to start on new better things.
