Personal notes:

Sources from Academic Search Complete:

^[1] "The wizards of id" describes various bits of history regarding id around the time of the original quake as well as the game itself. In particular, it describes the marketing strategies and behind-the-scenes events surrounding the release of Quake. Seems somewhat useful.

^[2] "'Quake' creating tremors among game players" describes Quake and the effects it had on the video game community at the time of writing. Like the previous article, it also writes about the game's marketing and development. Seems useful.

^[3] "Beyond Doom and Quake" describes how a marketer and a co-founder of id left the company shortly after the release of Quake to compete with them in the form of a new company named ION Storm. This may be useful for a section regarding the history of the Quake series' development. Outside of that, though, I doubt it's very useful at all.

^[4] "Earth Quake" is an exhaustive review of Quake, its history, and its impact on popular culture. I haven't taken a real look at this one, but it may potentially be very useful.

^[5] "The Hollywood Ten" is an article that examines ten different areas in the entertainment industry that are suspected to inspire or cause violence and crime in the real world. For each entry, it briefly considers the argument for and against the piece of media in question. One of these entries is "Videogames," which specifically cites Doom and Quake. This may be useful for a section on the controversy around Quake. I don't see it being useful besides that, though.

Sources from the internet:

^[6] This article, from VentureBeat, contains an interview with co-founder of id Software John Romero. The interview is mostly about Doom, but Romero says some things about Quake. Most notably, he says that his games were not intended to shock or offend people.

There will certainly be more sources available from secondary sites such as Polygon or ScreenRant that revolve around internet culture and media. They are not as professional, but they are still a valuable and helpful resource.
