Having recently read Romero’s “Doom Guy” autobiography, I certainly got a sense of that. Seems that Carmack became kind of almost a bully knowing all the other stakeholders depended solely upon him, and he could not be replaced. Used the threat of his departure as a bargaining chip to get exactly what he wanted.
Romero however seems almost apologetic for Carmacks actions. My guess is to spare Carmacks feelings, if he has those.
- shortrounddev2 3y agoYeah romero seems to take the high road, attributing some of Carmack behavior to stress, but he really seemed like a tyrant of a boss who was uninterested in accommodating anyone
- rasz 3y agoRomero was fired during Quake development for playing lan Doom instead of working.
