It doesn't stand for anything.

It stands for "shut the fuck up, a13n."

Originally, it was simply a shortened version of "Ideas from the Deep" (IDF), which was the name of a company co-founded by Romero in the late 80's. The "freudian" interpretation stuff came later.

He's going to be disappointed that there's not a conspiracy to it. Either that, or he'll create one.

I think it is almost equivalent to the 1st choice "source of instinctive drive" in a sense, where consciousness and unconsciousness meet.
At least every game concept from id is representing it.

"Kill all the supposed enemies in fornt of you!"

BTW thank you for your information.

I bet you read Masters of Doom eh?

I bet on the 1st one, though my true choice is "libido".

@MaxGaMin
I like your idea "libido".

mmm...

If you flip id horizontally, it turns to bi.
If you regard b as 6, it becomes 6i.
If you read 6i backward, it can be read as "I six".
It doesn't make sense, does it? :/

Oh, as for id's friend, raven, it can be interpreted literally.
Eat up resources!

SoFI, SoFII and Quake4 have prooved this.

But there used to be more ravenous companies in the werld.
They are pirates of the southern chinese who sold tons of crappy expensive NES and SNES rom cartridges in their dominating imperial island!

Yeah, and I think I posted a mini review of the book on here back in my moderator days.

I think I read that review yes.
Read the book myself as well. Really good read.

id doesn't stand for intellectual design (and certainly not for intelectual design). The "Ideas from the Deep" thing Hannibal posted is where the name comes from.

id is iq, but upside down, because the opposite of having iq is enough to play their brainless shootan games. This is why after 1993 their logo is always lowercase.
