This story reminds me of ION Storm [1], John Romero's cash rich baby that failed miserably with Daikatana. [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Storm http

  To be fair, they also released Deus Ex the same year as Daikatana. Although the moral there is Warren Spector is a far better game creator than John Romero.

  > Porter became CEO of ION Storm and the Dallas Observer said "He turned down a deal with Compaq computers that would have paid ION 75 cents to $1 for every Compaq computer sold with Dominion already installed, and would have guaranteed ION a minimum of $1.5 million." It's funny to think that selling your game for $1/each is a standard thing these days for mobile games. They only ended up selling very few of the games in retail and obviously should have took this deal. Thanks for the link, interesting story. I would love an office with a 'crash room' to have power naps in. That's the main thing I miss from working at home.

    I've seen a fair few law offices with nap rooms.
