Gearbox is up to stuff, and it doesn’t look like good stuff.

Did you know that at least one piece of source code from the very beginning of Id Software managed to survive at least all the way into the Doom 3 codebase?

P_NewChaseDir is a function that is best known for being the core of Doom’s “pathfinding” (to use the term loosely) for monsters. The function appears to have first appeared in Pascal form in Catacomb as “chaseTHINK”, was re-written into C for Hovertank 3D, and seems to have appeared in most of Id’s engines since then (with the exception of Quake 3, naturally) under varying names, right up to Doom 3's “idAI::NewWanderDir”. Often with the same variable names and comments!

I wonder if this tiny fragment of code has survived into 2016…?

I always enjoyed the premis of Re-Volt, was a pretty good looking game at the time too.
