Edit:

This is by far the worst episode, they continue on with some of the otherwise minor errors from the others such as the idea of a bad relationship between id and Apogee caused by id choosing to go their own way on Doom. The insinuation that Duke3D alone was the funding source for DNF thereby leaving out some of the key events(I know that you cannot cover everything in a short video like this, but we are talking about key events here), the claim that they spent ALL their money on DNF etc
Yeah, the first three episodes were pretty solid (minus some really tiny mistakes relating to Max Payne and such). But this episode contains a LOT of assumption and rumors and presents it as fact.

Once more they never once touched on Blood... I know, really minor and not that important. But really, to me... Blood started life as a 3DRealms product and in a way, 3DR did help start up another studio (Monolith) with a cult classic first ever title (Blood).

Plus, they completely ignored the fact that Radar sold PREY's IP to ZeniMax.
