id [0] seems to get by fine by open sourcing their game engines.
And doing so has lead to a number of ports that wouldn't exist otherwise.
The artists are still compensated fine. Because they separate the engine from the assets. If you want to play the original game, fine, but own it.
But now the community gets to port the game easier to a new platform. Which is one of the reasons that it's easy to port DOOM to every platform out there.
