据id Software的首席执行官Todd Hollenshead解释，虽然公司归纳到ZeniMax Media公司旗下，但游戏工作室依然独立进行，John Carmack仍然作为技术总监带领原来的开发团队制作游戏。id Software的员工已经跟新公司签订了长期的合同，看来他们留着原来的岗位上平稳发展。

　　另外，John Carmack也说到被收购的原因之一，是已经厌倦和发行商的周旋。我们相信id Software在被收购后，JC可以更专心的开发优秀的游戏。

　　两公司合并后，id Software游戏工作室与ZeniMax Media公司原来的Bethesda Game Studios游戏工作室保持独立运行，两者并没有太大的冲突，因为前者是以FPS游戏开发为主，而后者则以开发RPG游戏为主，事实上它们成互补关系。

　　在未来，id Software的游戏将交给母公司ZeniMax Media来发行。不过对于即将发布的《Rage》游戏依旧按协定交由EA公司发行，但后续版本的发行权则由ZeniMax Media公司掌管着。

　　相关的报道指出，日本“和谐版”辐射3的改变有，在任务The power of the atom中，将不会有Mr.burke这个角色，这样玩家就没有能力引爆那颗在megaton中心的原子弹，完全任务只能拆除炸弹的引线，同名于长崎原子弹的武器Fat Man将需要改名。另外人类和僵尸的一些肢体粉碎及血液效果将进行修改，以保证可顺利通过CERO的审查。

备注：CERO (Computer Entertainment Rating Organization，电脑娱乐评级机构)是由日本CESA(电脑娱乐协会)为执行游戏按照年龄评级而成立的独立组织。

　　日本版辐射3将在12月4日登陆Xbox360。无论如何，这个跨平台的大作发售2周后卖出的拷贝达470万份，销售额达到3亿的成绩已经证明它是一个不可错过的游戏。
