The rights to both games (Quake3 and Quake Champions) belong to Microsoft — through a chain of subsidiaries: id Software → Bethesda Softworks → ZeniMax Media → Microsoft.
id Software is the creator and original owner of the Quake series, including Quake III Arena (1999) and Quake Champions (2017).
ZeniMax Media is the parent company of Bethesda and id Software. In 2026, ZeniMax even filed a fresh trademark application for Quake.

Microsoft bought ZeniMax Media in March 2021 for $7.5 billion, along with all the studios and franchise rights.
A remaster of the Quake3 game is now possible from Nightdive Studios — hints about an announcement at QuakeCon 2025 have already been made.

I believe that a competitive future for Quake 3 lies in the Team Mode (with the Duel Mode being an addition), and it’s quite possible that it will be achieved through an anfriz, through improvements (additions) to the graphics and other aspects: Quake 3 remaster (Quake 3: Resurrected).
In my opinion, the Quake Champions project did not achieve sufficient success to be competitive with CS2, mainly due to the insufficiently high and precise design of the stylistics and design, as well as the lack of formality in the team mode (or the regulation of its gameplay).
Since fpsclassico Unfreeze servers are the most balanced for team gameplay (and this has already been tested over the years, including in the tournament plan), and in view of the great interest of the quake 3 developers in developing this game further, I consider it necessary for the developer company to cooperate with the quake 3 fpsclassico server administration to achieve the best result most desired by consumers (when creating Quake 3 remaster (Quake 3: Resurrected), as well as to get the cutting-edge esports game that many people have been waiting for for decades.
Therefore, I suggest that players and members of the quake game community, esports, and anyone interested in this, write letters with this or a similar proposal to companies (id Software, Bethesda, night-dive-studios, ZeniMax Media, Microsoft) about this:
what is the most appropriate email address, where to write it correctly, I do not know for sure (I’d be interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on the best way to write the letter and where to send it?) , I found these addresses (mail):
press@bethsoft.com
info@bethsoft.com

It would be interesting to know what everyone thinks about this?
