I believe that Half-Life: Blue Shift's situation was just another case of, "System cancelled? Cancel the project," like so many games which would have seen release late in the Dreamcast's life.
Thanks to iD open-sourcing Quake's code-base.
Excellent games both.
I would much prefer the three tiers being Atari, SEGA, and Nintendo instead of SONY, MicroSoft, and Nintendo. It was better when every major company was purely a video game company and not a monolithic behemoth which spans across industries and nations.
