FWIW, I can confirm

played a lot of Quake so it’s legit. We played on the same servers often.
I believe your handle was Zip2, right

Changed my life in more ways than one!
Today we celebrate the 24th birthday of Quake 1, the terrifying single-player and blast-tastic multiplayer full 3D shooter from 1996. It was tough to make, but the game still stands the test of time and is still played everyday.

One of the best games ever made.
Quake 2 - one of the best games I made has been remastered and selling through one of our sister companies. Limited Run Games does the coolest special editions.

Legend. Enjoy your time off and leveling up your new character in the fatherhood mmorpg.
In October 2006 we started working on live video for the internet. That became Twitch. More than 16 years later, I'm now a father and ready to move to my next phase of life. I wrote a blog post, but the short version is: thank you so much to everyone who built this with me.

100% agree. And we're going to see several successful crypto-native Supercells long before many of the AAA publishers fully embrace the space. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about AAA publishers launching creator tokens for their own platforms as a first step.
