Tim Willits recently announced on Twitter that he will be leaving id Software after QuakeCon 2019.
“After 24 years, I’ve decided to leave id Software after QuakeCon,” said Willits. “I’ve been extremely lucky to work with the best people in the industry on truly amazing games. QuakeCon has been an unbelievable part of my journey and I look forward to seeing everyone at the Gaylord Texan.”
He’s not revealing his post-id plan as of yet, but promises to after QuakeCon.
As far as what he’s leaving behind, he tells fans not to worry about the future of their favorite games.
“All of the games currently in development are in very good hands, my departure will not affect any planned releases,” said Willits. “id Software is packed full of amazing talent that will continue to develop (long into the future) some of the best shooters in the world.”
We at QNN are sad to see him go but wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. And although we have to create some fake news out of this, know that it is out of love.

Summer has come and passed
And QuakeCon can never last
Wake me up when September LANs
As my rocket launcher blasts
How the years have gone so fast
Wake me up when September LANs
Playing Quake Champions
Fragging to the stars
Golfing with Friends again
Becoming who we are
As my graphics card rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September LANs
————————
Summer has come and passed
And QuakeCon can never last
Wake me up when September LANs
Fire off the shells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September LANs
Playing DOOM 2 on LAN
Demons we will char
Rocket League as a clan
Becoming who we are
As my graphics card rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September LANs
—————————–
Summer has come and passed
And QuakeCon can never last
Wake me up when September LANs
As my rocket launcher blasts
How the years have gone so fast
Wake me up when September LANs
Wake me up when September LANs
Wake me up when September LANs

A recent carbon monoxide leak at id Software turns out to be responsible for employees not announcing Quakecon registration dates.
“No one has come in or out of the building in weeks,” said Bob the overnight security guard at the Richardson office park. “People in the surrounding offices have raised concerns over employees cars taking up parking spots so we had them towed.”
