I'm torn. My head says yes, but Carmack and his revolutionary 3D tech milestones (of which Quake II was definitely one of them) are deffo tech worthy, and the fact that 90's shooters are unbelievably successful at the moment does make for an industry-defining trend right now.

In short: meh.

In short, I'll do you one better: Yes, sometimes.

News about games that are accepted by the tech community as technologically significant may belong, dependent on what the news are.

This specific news I honestly don't think fits that well here, but it's good news, and it's not like it's pushing out a lot of better contributions, so it's close enough to being related to keep.
