John Romero hasn't been relevant since Quake and arguably hasn't been any good since Hexen/Heretic. I'm not sure why we are subjected to his "hot takes" on an annual basis.

edit: oh, I think he's an asshole. I've met him, he was not fun.

Well, in this case I'd guess because his indie dev studio just got royally hosed by Microsoft, so he definitely has good reason to hot take the hell out of the relationship between major publishers and indie studios at the moment.

A lot of nice people aren't especially fun. I'm not sure it's a great metric.

Well, go meet him I guess.

I'm not sure if he's married to the same woman from 2001 but SHE was a lot of fun. Life of the party, always knows what to say. Just an all around great person to talk to.

Stevie "KillCreek" Case?

Yeah, her. My ex wife and her really hit it off and we all had a great time at the party. The elite of id were standoffish, but it was quakecon and a meet and greet, so they were probably tired and over it. Carmack was cool though, and there were two guys I was vibing with, I don't remember their names

I think Romero had already left id at that point but since they all came up together he was still welcome at social events.
