Ook id Software zegt vaarwel tegen de ESA
id Software wilde hierop geen commentaar leveren, maar de Entertainment Software Association reageerde wel op de vraag of id Software werkelijk hun lidmaatschap hadden opgezegd:
"We can confirm that id Software has decided not to renew its membership in the ESA. We admire their creativity and innovation. We also respect their decision. The ESA continues to lead the thriving video and computer game industry. We are dedicated to protecting intellectual property, preserving First Amendment rights and fostering a beneficial environment for the entire entertainment software industry."
