John Romero was fired from id Software nearly thirty years ago, in 1996.
You’re really pushing it when you’re talking about games John Romero made after id software.
Empire of Sin, Gunman Taco Truck; Sigil II. You know… the modern classics.
Agreed. All Romero has is his name recognition and that he worked at Id.
Daikatana was one of the biggest video game flops of the 90s, and the marketing was 100% based on Romero’s name recognition! I’m old enough that when I think of John Romero, I think of Daikatana.
That’s how his name became well-known at the time. Carmack stayed with id, Romero got fired and thought he was as good as Carmack.
It’s genuinely crazy to me that everyone isn’t automatically suspicious of John Romero like they are Peter Molyneux.
