Does the author even read the article after copying and pasting the press release? > Instead Carmack is suing Zenimax Media for $22.5 million that he says has not been paid to him for the 2009 sale of his game studio, id Software, known for such pioneering video game classics as Doom and Quake. > The lawsuit reveals that ZeniMax Media paid $150 million for the game studio behind such pioneering video gaming classics as Doom and Quake. Subsequent sentences. FFS.

You don't usually own 100% of a game studio that is that old when it is sold.

  I believe GP is complaining about what's in italics - "such pioneering video game classics as Doom and Quake" appears twice in subsequent sentences. (It's redundant.)

    > [text] appears twice in subsequent sentences. (It's redundant.) Nicely illustrated. ;)

> Subsequent sentences. FFS. You are outraged that the writer missed a duplication (that happened in draft, no doubt) during a copyedit stage? I have some news for you: publishers in 2017 do not enjoy the economic conditions to either give journalists time to polish their work or hire dedicated copyeditors.
