Just came across this on an old wish list, had completely forgotten about it!
Think I mustn’t have fancied paying full whack at the time as I wasn’t interested in the multiplayer or the dlc hype etc (I know, I know).
Anyway well worth a couple of bucks and saves the many now-unloved copies out there becoming trash so thought I’d share in case anyone else missed out!
Definitely not a fan of how either Romero or Carmack wound up being in the end, but I can’t deny they were pioneers
I’m out of the loop, care to elaborate?
Only thing I can say is that Carmack’s Wikipedia article reads like he wrote it himself before a job interview…
Long story short, both of them wound up associated to the far right. Romero was well known, but Carmack was invited to a convention specifically against “cancel culture”.
Well that’s disappointing.
There’s a lot more nuance than that. I can’t remember enough of the situation off the top of my head, but I remember there is is more to the story than that. I would recommend you read up on it yourself before you make up your mind from one comment thread.
I’m out of the loop on Romero with that, what happened there?
