What is Apogees relationship with id?
Joe Siegler’s explanation of the relationship between Apogee and id follows: Apogee and id Software are two completely different companies. They always have been, always will be. Apogee doesn’t own id; id doesn’t own Apogee; nor is one a division of the other. Apogee Software writes and distributes software. Of the many games that Apogee has published, only a handful have not been written by Apogee as well. id Software wrote three of these games, namely, Keen: Vorticons, Keen: Galaxy, and Wolfenstein 3D. id Software writes software, and up until Doom, had never published anything themselves. id has published through a few companies, Apogee being one of them. As mentioned before, Keen Vorticons, Keen Galaxy, and Wolfenstein 3D were distributed by Apogee. (At later dates, id went on and also published Keen Galaxy and Wolf3D in the stores through GT Software, now called GT Interactive, but that’s another story.) Some earlier id efforts such as Catacomb 3D are distributed through Softdisk.
