Pre-OST it sounds like he kept interacting in hopes that they would pay him on time. For the OST, I suppose a combination of professional decency and the fact that his name was already attached to the release kept him going.
Mick Gordon's been a household name thanks to his legendary DOOM(2016) soundtrack, so I'm not surprised he was trying to keep it up. A musician can really live or die by their name recognition and that open letter did a helluva number to his reputation.
- Chris2048 4y ago> the fact that his name was already attached couldn't he have sued on the basis his name was attached to it?
- stryan 4y agoQuite possibly, but that's a lot of money to put up against a company (zenimax) known for their legal team. It would also mean never working with id/zenimax/bethesda/possibly even Microsoft game studios in general again.
- JohnBooty 4y agoI'm not a lawyer, but this is a difficult road. You can't sue merely because somebody wrote mean or untrue things. You have to prove that they're untrue and that they caused you harm. In Mick's case, that harm would presumably take the form of lost income in form of work he didn't receive from other companies due to Marty's false claims. That's difficult (read: expensive) to prove in court. Also, as others have noted, suing iD/Zenimax would also be some level of professional suicide. There are way more talented arts than there are paying artist gigs. That means game companies have hundreds or thousands of artists to choose from, and they consciously or subconsciously filter out the "risky" ones.
