Everyone use this thread to list the reasons why you hate John Romero (please don't say that you're simply jealous because that's a given). This way I don't have to read through 10 different threads to see how many total mental cases there are in this newsgroup.
One suggestion - wouldn't it make more sense to hate someone who will respond on the newsgroup? Where's Derek Smart when we need him? (just kidding Derbish :)

Wow, 24 years of failure for Romero since this stuff was originally posted. >The only thing I even recognize out of the things he was possibly involved >with was Marvel Heroes. It's not clear if he even was involved in it though >other than as co-founder of the studio that developed it.

It's sort of like an anti-accomplishment, but there are those that

But a lot of his talents are rooted in the days of DOS games
development, when games could be created by individuals or small
teams, and are reliant on others to take his creative impulses and
massage them into working products. Without somebody to rein him in we
end up with stuff like Daikatana

This is a fair take. I still recall his shenanigans with some busty gamerchick back in the '90s, but come on: That was a long time ago, and he's still rocking along doing his thing in Ireland, and I hope having a grand ole time. He quite frankly is a damn cool guy, with no shade of vindictiveness or bad intent that I've ever seen mention of, that many
people are still jealous and envious of.
Remero, I have heard of him but I'm not sure quite what he did that
annoyed so many people**. The positive is at least he's not trying to
flog NFT's unlike certain developers from that era!

I kinda miss the good old days of the rockstar designer even if it was a mixture of truth with brand promotion. A really good example of this is Imagine who were a Speccky 48k developer in the early 80's. They lived
the high life including flash cars so much so that the BBC even made a documentary about them. That turned into somewhat of a goldmine as it coincided with Imagine going bankrupt in a somewhat dramatic way*. Some
of the key players later did admit that although they enjoyed the
lifestyle it was also done to give a certain allure to the company.

*There's even an episode of Blackmirror that plays of the game that was
there downfall, Bandersnatch.
**Or indeed why someone dug this thread up.
