Adam “SyncError” Pyle has been the driving force behind Quake Champions for years, supporting the game and its community. He has helped keep Quake alive through updates, communication, tournaments, and long term dedication. This petition asks Microsoft to bring Adam back to continue supporting the game and the community that has benefited from his leadership.
We don’t normally write article like this, but it is indeed a dire situation for us all. While id Software just released DOOM The Dark Ages DLC Revelations the studio behind these amazing projects like DOOM, and Quake are being gutted. The Quake Champions team has been let go from id Software. You can read more about what is going on at Xbox from the new CEO Asha Sharma from this Xbox Wire post she posted yesterday: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/06/resetting-xbox/ Essentially Xbox is refocusing on Tent pole franchises to help bring in strong profit margins closer to other Microsoft organizations like Windows, Surface, and Office Suite. While id Software was not shut down yesterday the reports are saying that as much as 50% of id’s staff was let go yesterday. There has been officially no wording from id Software, or Bethesda | ZeniMax on the state of id Software’s future, or any ongoing projects. The reorganizing from this fallout was only part 1. 1600 jobs were let go, but 1600 more will be let go by the end of fiscal year 2027, so by June of 2027. In the meantime I have made a change.org petition to bring back Syncerror. I have little hope this will do anything, but these times require the community to visibly show their support. Please consider signing, and sharing this petition so we can show Xbox leadership this is an important and valuable community to us: https://c.org/8fCttnj9Jd
