Also... how did Wisdom Tree manage to not get sued by ID for this?
Connection to id Software
According to rumours, id Software, angered with Nintendo of America's censorship in the SNES version of Wolfenstein 3D, gave the source code for that game to Wisdom Tree as part of a kind of "revenge" for the company to make an unofficial clone to mock them. The fact is that Wisdom Tree purchased the license to the engine themselves from id Software, with both Wolfenstein 3D for the SNES and Super 3D Noah's Ark being developed at the same time. The game was not a commercial success, and is considered a clone of Wolfenstein 3D. It was most commonly sold in Christian bookstores.

The real story is Wisdom Tree asked for the license and id sold it to them. That's it.
Or the shorter story is Wisdom Tree asked for the license and Carmack (because tom and romero weren't equal partners in their own company that they founded with blood and sweat) let them buy it because he's a money grubber.

Not sure if many of you guys here have a Steam account but the game now has a Steam Greenlight page and could use some votes!

It can be; the company gets to set the rates and if it's for some unrelated thing that won't be associated by many people with the original and nobody cares about then why not hock it on the cheap?RoboBlue wrote:Was it really that cheap?
How much could an unlicensed christian game developer reasonably afford to pay?
