More recently I learned that it initially stood for "In Demand" software. Meaning Eye Dee would be more appropriate. So I still pronounce the company as id. I pronounce the games part like Rick James does at about 3:05 of this video: Bro I love this mashup so much, it goes harder than it has any right to 4 Share this post Link to post
Plerb Posted March 15 When I played Commander Keen as a small kid, I always pronounced id Software as "eye-dee", but somewhere along the line I started saying it phonetically (rhyming with "did"), which by extension is how I say the id in idgames. 2 Share this post Link to post

No wonder you are called “TheMagicMushroomMan”, you really are on some magic mushrooms! Then again, every post you make tells us that. What next, you pronounce “gif” as “jif”, or “god” as “jod”? 1 Share this post Link to post

ENEMY!!! Posted March 16 (edited) I'm one of those who thought they were "eye-dee" Software for years, but then found out that they were officially pronounced in a way that rhymes with "did". Over the past decade and a half I've gradually shifted towards the official version, but I still sometimes subconsciously think of them as "eye-dee Software" and by extension "eye-dee games". For me, it seems that "eye-dee games" remains in my subconscious to a greater extent than "eye-dee Software" does - regarding idgames my subconscious is divided roughly 50-50, whereas as for the company, the "id" pronunciation prevails by a ratio of around 4:1. 1 Share this post Link to post
Async Unicorn Posted March 16 I heard both "Eye-dee Software" and "Ee-D Software", but never heard someone pronouncing "Eye-dee Games"... So, I'm a regular person, not a weirdo, so I say "Ee-D Games", :D 0 Share this post Link to post
