My full statement regarding DOOM Eternal
medium.com
This statement is issued in response to id Software Studio Director Marty Stratton’s “DOOM Eternal OST Open Letter”, published on Reddit.
  • Producer set an unrealistic timetable and acted like a fucking baby when Gordon pointed out it wasn't working and suggested a restructure that kept all the same major milestones in place
  • Withheld pay from him for nearly a year, twice in a row
  • Announced the Mick Gordon Doom Eternal OST by Mick Gordon releasing like a month away without ever talking to Mick Gordon about it
  • Agreed to make a joint statement, then publicly libeled him on Reddit
  • Shared his fucking personal contact details with Reddit trolls so he could be doxxed
  • Ended up using all the music they rejected and thus refused to pay him for; roughly half the soundtrack
  • Tried to settle the issue with hush money while refusing to admit fault or even take down the fucking Reddit post

Goddamn what a fucking shitshow of a publisher. Pure fucking evil.

      A shocking number of people in upper management are just petulant manbabies

        I think it goes a bit deeper given that Bethesda was going out of its way to protect the reputation of one shitbag. Same with how ActiBlizz was sticking its neck out for Bobby Kotick, even though they could have just cut him loose straight up.

        Deep down, it's solidarity between parasites on a power trip. They see one of them getting fried as precedent for any of them.
