@Werekitten: I'm talking about his statement saying 3rd parties in general shouldn't be interested on Wii. Not on the specific case of id (I mentioned it's not surprising they don't care about it given their background).

Substitute "id" with any studio going for high production value, multiplatform games with limited appeal on the Wii's extended audience (hint: that's most of what is developed on the 360/PS3) and the whole argument is intact.

 

It's not really intact. The problem with some studios and publishers is precisely that they're focusing on that kind of games. Clearly this kind of development is not for everybody (unless they don't intend to make profits).

Valve, iD and Epic are great at it though.
