Among questions put to people at id, Valve, Dice, and Epic:
Say you're positive a publisher won't support an idea of yours. Would you consider giving it to a modder, if only to get it out there? Maybe to make the point that it's something people want to play?
Publishers spend millions per title, ratcheting up the tension with increasingly merciless economic expectations. Are the big names having a harder time generating and seeing through fresh and independent ideas? Are mod teams the new source for outrageous variety?
Other participants include people from Day of Defeat, Red Orchestra, Desert Combat, Enemy Territory, Garrys Mod, Insurgency, Lost Marine, Dystopia, Minerva, and NeoTokyo
