Tell us how you really feel about Gamecock, John

Recommended Videos

John Romero (better known as the guy that made Doom) apparently thinks Gamecock are a bunch of twats. Or more specifically, he thinks so of Gamecock’s CEO, Mike Wilson. Directly quoted from Romero’s blog:

So, over on Kotaku they have a news item about Gamecock’s release schedule. Once again, just like with Godgames, Wilson is taking all the credit away from the indie devs and pasting his asinine logo everywhere.

I got a chuckle out of reading the reader’s comments on the article. People are now starting to get a clue about how Mr. Wilson operates. Hey everyone, he hasn’t changed in over 10 years – these are the kinds of jackass stunts he pulled at Ion Storm with Daikatana.

For those of you that don’t know what Romero means by the last bit, Romero and Wilson worked together at id Software and later at Ion Storm, before Wilson moved on to establish Godgames. Romero further comments in his blog that after Take Two absorbed Godgame, Wilson was just waiting for “his next victim/investor so he could go hogwild all over again.” Harsh!

While I can’t comment much on the obvious dislike there, it does get me wondering what Mr. Romero would think of a guy parading around in a robot helmet wailing about cocks.
