via Joystiq by Christopher Grant on February 20, 2008
Filed under: PC, GDCIt's been a while since we've heard anything about Quake Zero, id Software's free-to-play variation of Quake 3. For starters, it's not going by that old name anymore.

Now, if Jacob Metcalf (the guy who broke the Bungie/Microsoft split story) is right, we'll...
