It's not the main topic, but I like to call out attention to this: I express that as a compliment, even if in the real world it works against you. Even after getting screwed over 30 times in a row he still was hopeful for a reasonable ending. This Mick Gordon guy has to be the most patient, understanding and abuse-tolerant person on the planet. But that doesn't diminish his contribution to the story of DOOM and beyond at all.
I just don't see him being mentioned in the news much anymore, especially compared to Carmack, and I honestly have no idea what he is up to. The last sentence wasn't meant to be a dig at Romero at all. Especially since Carmack and his current endeavors are still very relevant to the world of today.
Both Carmack and Romero created something very special there, and it is fascinating as hell to read it. It is about as strong of a book rec as I can give. However, that book was something else, and it rocked my world. I still have no interest or fascination with working in gamedev industry now. Neither do I have a strong emotional attachment to the original DOOM, I was way too young to appreciate it back when it was released, and I didn't live in a country where it was a cultural hit. I didn't want to work in gamedev at the time (due to being fairly familiar with how awful working in that industry was), and I still don't. I've read it on the bus commute during my internship at Microsoft back in college ~6-7 years ago, and I cannot recommend this book enough.

Much to my relief, he instantly took it down.īut within 12 hours, the post was reinstated. It was a source of ongoing stress and harm, and I asked if he’d consider removing it. I told him how Marty’s Reddit post had affected me deeply, both professionally and personally. Along with the r/DOOM subreddit, he told me he also moderated the official DOOM Discord server. The moderator introduced himself and spoke about his love for the DOOM franchise and its fanbase. We made contact and arranged a call via Discord. Reddit Moderator: I reached out to one of the r/DOOM moderators. With my patience stretched to the absolute limit, I decided to take steps to remove the Reddit post myself. The Reddit post had been up for 15 months and attempts to resolve the dispute with Marty had gotten me nowhere. I grew tired of having the respect I afforded Marty, and his employer, with attempts to resolve the dispute privately, get turned into a giant waste of time, effort and money. moderation:Īttempting to remove the Reddit post myself In case we need another example to why Reddit moderation needs.
