That changed on Monday, when EA revealed that it had signed a deal with id to publish Rage, the upcoming shooter/driving action game that was revealed last year. It's something of a change for id, part of what co-founder and programming wizard John Carmack described as a new vision for the company. After a couple years of relative quiet, id is busy working on a number of projects, from Rage, to Quake Live (a free, Web-based version of its famous game Quake III Arena), to Doom 4."

The CEO spoke on the flexibility of the technology, id's changing attitude towards developer support and tools, when the engine will be ready--and he even painted a striking contrast to rival Epic, which has been in the news lately for licensing-related matters.
