One reason I can think of to look forward to some Epic releases is
that they now have Renaissance doing games for them.  Those have the
potential to be incredible, especially with the new members they have.

Jay Wilbur from Id hangs out on Usenet and answers questions.
According to Scott Miller at Apogee, Apogee helped Epic with getting
set up business-wise, although he didn't give any specifics.  Sez the

anyone suffered from say, another Apogee appearing, it'd be the
commercial companies.
