not sure if this has been posted for discussion here, but john carmack has indicated there probably won't be dedicated servers for id software's new rage title. i'd assume within a year or two, little to no new pc titles will have the feature.

Quote from kotaku.com:
id Software's John Carmack is mindful of the anger over Modern Warfare 2 dropping dedicated server support. That's why he's glad Infinity Ward is going first, because he plans to do the same thing with Rage.

"It's not cast in stone yet, but at this point no, we don't think we will have dedicated servers," he said, according to Variety. But he's glad "we won't have to be a pioneer on that. We'll see how it works out for everyone else."

rage looks horrendous anyways, but yeah wtf is with the sudden dedicated server hate?

I did not expect this from Carmack. He is a ******* PC Dev legend. Why **** us like this?

To think that i've been talking up iD ever since they got back control of their IP from Activision.
Rage is just a showcase of the new idtech5 engine, but still. John Carmack basically started fps gaming, its amazing that he's stooped this low as well. I guess it shows just how much investor/publishing pressure is on game developers these days.

Surprised they're doing this actually considering the absolute collosus backlash that MW2 is recieving.

that is why we need to befriend the smaller game studios as they must capture "us" the market to sell there games and build there brand, sure they will give us the ass in the end but then we just restart the cycle
