I'm unfamiliar with this story. Can anyone provide some background, or, a link to more information?

Marty (id person) posted this (1) two years ago putting all the blame on Mick. Mick posted his rebuttal last week on medium, unlike Marty's post his contained screenshots (2). The two year delay is probably lawyer related? (1) https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/gdg25y/doom_eternal_ost_open_letter/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/gdg25y/doom_eternal_o...

This is an answer to Mick Gordon's statement regarding his work on Doom Eternal. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33532078 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33532078 for his his statement and HN discussion.

The long and short of it is that Bethesda did serious fucky shit with Mick Gordon's work for Doom Eternal, including but not limited to: using twice the music that they paid for, using his name on an OST without a contract in place first (it's a separate contract with new terms), and having some audio engineer rip the audio from the game - badly - and turn that into the OST instead. The thing with the OST was due to legal reasons - they promised an OST with the special edition, so they had to publish... something. Normally they'd offer Gordon a contract for it who would then recompose the (dynamic) in-game music to listenable album tracks. I think they did in the end, but only after announcing it, pressuring him to start working on it before there was a contract because of legal reasons and it would be his name on the chopping board if they failed to deliver, AND having an audio engineer work on it for six months (Gordon had one) independently.
