Id Software LLC is an American video game developer based in Dallas, Texas. The company was founded on February 1, 1991, by four members of the computer company Softdisk, programmers John Carmack and John Romero, game designer Tom Hall, artist Adrian Carmack. Business manager Jay Wilbur was involved. Id Software made important technological developments in video game technologies for the PC, including work done for the Wolfenstein and Quake franchises. Id's work was important in 3D computer graphics technology and in game engines that are used throughout the video game industry; the company was involved in the creation of the first-person shooter genre. Wolfenstein 3D is considered to be the first true FPS, Doom is a game that popularized the genre and PC gaming in general, Quake was id's first true 3D FPS. On June 24, 2009, ZeniMax Media acquired the company. In 2015, they opened a second studio in Germany; the founders of id Software met in the offices of Softdisk developing multiple games for Softdisk's monthly publishing, including Dangerous Dave.

In September 1990, John Carmack developed an efficient way to side-scroll graphics on the PC. Upon making this breakthrough and Tom Hall stayed up late into the night making a replica of the first level of the popular 1988 NES game Super Mario Bros. 3, inserting stock graphics of John Romero's Dangerous Dave character in lieu of Mario. When Romero saw the demo, entitled "Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement", he realized that Carmack's breakthrough could have potential; the team that would form id Software began moonlighting, going so far as to "borrow" company computers that were not being used over the weekends and at nights while they designed their own remake of Super Mario Bros. 3. Despite their work, Nintendo turned them down, saying they had no interest in expanding to the PC market, that Mario games were to remain exclusive to Nintendo consoles. Around this time, Scott Miller of Apogee Software learned of the group and their exceptional talent, having played one of Romero's Softdisk games, Dangerous Dave, contacted Romero under the guise of multiple fan letters that Romero came to realize all originated from the same address.

When he confronted Miller, Miller explained that the deception was necessary since Softdisk screened letters it received. Although disappointed by not having received mail from multiple fans and other Softdisk developers began proposing ideas to Miller, including Commander Keen in December 1990, which became a successful shareware game. After their first royalty check, Romero and Adrian Carmack decided to start their own company. After hiring Hall, the group finished the Commander Keen series hired Jay Wilbur and Kevin Cloud and began working on Wolfenstein 3D. Id Software was founded by Romero and Adrian Carmack and Hall on February 1, 1991; the shareware distribution method was employed by id Software through Apogee Software to sell their products, such as the Commander Keen and Doom games. They would release the first part of their trilogy as shareware sell the other two installments by mail order. Only did id Software release their games via more traditional shrink-wrapped boxes in stores.

After Wolfenstein 3D's great success, id began working on Doom. After Hall left the company, Sandy Petersen and Dave Taylor were hired before the release of Doom in December 1993. On June 24, 2009, it was announced; the deal would affect publishing deals id Software had before the acquisition, namely Rage, being published through Electronic Arts. ZeniMax received in July a $105 million investment from StrongMail Systems for the id acquisition, it's unknown if, the exact price of the deal. Id Software moved from the "cube-shaped" Mesquite office to a location in Richardson, Texas during the spring of 2011. On June 26, 2013, id Software president Todd Hollenshead quit after 17 years of service. On November 22, 2013, it was announced id Software co-founder and Technical Director John Carmack had resigned from the company to work full-time at Oculus VR which he joined as CTO in August 2013, he was the last of the original founders to leave the company. Tim Willits left the company in 2019 The company writes its name with a lowercase id, pronounced as in "did" or "kid", according to the book Masters of Doom, the group identified itself as "Ideas from the Deep" in the early days of Softdisk but that, in the end, the name'id' came from the phrase "in demand".

Disliking "in demand" as "lame", someone suggested a connection with Sigmund Freud's psychological concept of id, which the others accepted. Evidence of the reference can be found as early as Wolfenstein 3D with the statement "that's id, as in the id, superego in the psyche" appearing in the game's documentation. Prior to an update to the website, id's History page made a direct reference to Freud. Kevin Cloud — Executive producer Donna Jackson — Office manager/ "id mom" Marty Stratton — Executive producer Robert Duffy — Chief Technology Officer Arranged in chronological order: Tom Hall — Co-founder, game designer, level designer, creative director. After a dispute with John Carmack over the designs of Doom, Hall was forced to resign from id Software in August 1993, he joined 3D Realms soon afterwards. Bobby Prince — Music composer. A freelance musician who went on to pursue other projects after Doom II. Dave T
