id Software Says No Quake MMO to Come

In an interview with Shacknews id Software's President John Carmack has said that developing an MMO is not in the future of the software developer.

"id has no interest in MMO development," said Carmack, who added that while he is familiar with the technology, he is also "fully cognizant" of the challenges and risks of creating a game in the genre.

id Software is currently dabbling in web-based online gaming with its upcoming Quake III Arena port Quake Live.

MMOs are hard work, that's for sure!  Shame we won't see a Quake version anytime soon though.
