Romero Departs Midway
[Jul 13, 2005, 10:29 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

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.

I was kind of looking forward to that Gauntlet. They've always been solid 4 player gaming, and this current generation of consoles is often lacking in that.

I was under the impression that this company only made games for cellphones / PDAs etc?

As for Romero, yawn, the guy has become an industry joke. He's been living off the fame of Doom for 10+ years now, isn't it time we stop posting his every move as "news", as if he was somehow still relevant?

Shit, Penny Arcade's FIRST comic was a joke about Romero. It's time to move on.
