A post to the
ROME.RO Forums (thanks Rob) from John Romero himself confirms rumors that
the former id Software and ION Storm designer is
no longer with Midway Entertainment. The reports first surfaced on
Computer Games Magazine
yesterday, and we contacted The Romero for a
response to the rumors, which he chose to address in the forums:
Hey guys, I can definitely confirm that I have
left Midway - I've been gone for about 3 weeks and Rhaluka and I have been
traveling around and having fun together (a sort of honeymoon without going to
tropical destinations).
Midway says that development of Gauntlet hasn't been impacted by my departure
and is scheduled to ship this fall. I can't say anything more about the
situation and hope you all understand. (smile)
I'm currently looking at lots of exciting developments right now and it'll be a
couple months before I can announce my next destination.
