That's not a lot of money.

that's the point

you shouldn't rely on those sites, but you should also know that anyone forced out of id had to sell their shares back

He made everyone his bitch and had to pay up because everyone was a prostitute.

that was eidos's money. the simpler explanation is that john hasn't done anything remotely successful in over 20 years

think about how many games he could have made if he stayed and actually made some money.

lol that's a fraction of toby or scott cawthon, pretty crazy

he didn't leave id voluntarily he was kicked out

Why?

rarely showed up to work, and didn't pull his weight, dude had an ego and was just playing quake multiplayer all day

sounds like he was just the "ideas guy" like the ones that flood this place but dont do shit

he was the opposite, he designed the levels and game toolkits, he was a really talented programmer in his own right, of course carmack was on another level, but Romero was an important part to those classic shooters, the only issue was he thought he was a rockstar and acted like he was the biggest shit, his hubris was his downfall

More lies. The guy who specifically started working with Carmack precisely because he had a similar work ethic suddenly stopped showing up for work? Nice headcannon retard. He wasn't happy that Quake turned into a shooter and left to form a new studio. Problem for Romero was that his ideas were too grand to be completed by small studios inside short time frames. Regardless of Romero's over ambition, you should be eternally grateful to him that he said to Warren Spector 'go and make whatever game you want'.

I take David Kushner's word over yours.
>headcannon
Retard.

I liked this post
Thank you

mostly because john carmack lost his marbles making quake and started tracking romero's productivity like a hawk, but also because romero wanted to do something besides fps games

fuck off john, where's blackroom?

I am 31 and can tell you I have at least a net worth of 100k+...
It's not a great achievement

hasn't made a successful game since Doom, spent his money on failed companies

>not sure if it was all his fault
it was

doom was pulling in millions for id founders, if romero isn't comfortable it's because he wasted a lot of money for years.
i would be surprised if he didn't make money from the two million dollar home he built with doom money.

Sigil was dope. One of the coolest wads I’ve played in a long time.

Why did he have so few levels in doom 2?

People who originally have no means but are ultimately able to earn a great deal, through whatever talents they may possess, almost always come to think that these are permanent capital and that what they gain through them is interest.
Accordingly, they do not put aside part of their earnings to form permanent capital, but spend their money as fast as they earn it. But they are then often reduced to poverty because their earnings decrease or come to an end after their talent, which was of a transitory nature, is exhausted, as happens, for example, in the case of video games.

success got to his head after doom and he spent his time partying and slacking off

I have a lung a kidney and a whole liver, that's probably worth 100k and I could live without

It has the classic Romero dickishness as well. I do hate the "shoot the eye" switches though.

dunno but he was producing heretic when doom 2 was in development

I'm young and have no talent and attention span
:(

Mine's much worse. Have sex.

not with you tho cuz you a broke nigga

You guys do know you have to subtract your mortgage/student loans/all other credit when calculating your net worth?

Net worth does not tell how rich he is

john romero, 51, crushed by over 8 million dollars in student loans from ten minutes at sierra college

absolutely. there has been zero word of it since like two years ago when they said they would make a demo and show it on kickstarter again.

I have 3k in the bank and a car that is worth 3k.
Maybe if I sell my laptop and all my gaming shit, let's say it's worth 3k.

No dumbass he's talking about the dumbasses itt that think because they're less than a decade out of college making another 20+ years of payment on their 6 figure house means that they have a 6 figure net worth

>He wasn't happy that Quake turned into a shooter
oh right, it was supposed to be a RPG, right? then why the fuck did he leave to make a shooter though?

$100,000-$1,000,000 seems like a pretty large margin of error

I thought it was okay. Levels felt a bit small and cramped a lot of the time though.

I actually met him. He has a game studio in the city I live in (Galway, Ireland) he's pretty cool, his studio's rad.

What is worse?

Being a famous guy that is not even rich

or

Being a famous rich guy that is also hated?

because that's what eidos gave him money to do

I hef like 200k at 26 even accounting for debt.
I bet john has like 1mil plus a nice house or something.

want to invest in my time traveling samurai game with over 69 weapons and 420 levels

Does the main character look like Baiken?

who cares about the main character, let's talk about your side kicks nigger jim and sakura bukkake. for the first time ever you are going to have a black man talking in your left ear the entire time you play.

29 and same.

this. but I do have parents who enable me so the problem is masked.

It's easy to pad your net worth and easy to make it less and most of this are bad estimates. If you own a house no matter how pathetic it is, you will have a net worth of around $100k.

It was. He made two retarded decisions.
First he switched the engines instead of sticking to Q1's and patching colored lights into it the way Valve did in Half-Life. Due to that they had to effectively start the game from scratch.
More than a half of his team were mod community amateurs. There were internal tensions he was unable or unwilling to resolve, following engine switch, the team fractured, half the team, actual mappers, walked out of the door, and went onto making KISS Psycho Circus game that managed to get released before Daikatana, and to better reviews too.
Hiring amateurs wasn't one of two Romero's fuckups I alluded towards. Engine switch was. The other one I'll mention larer.
Anyway, after mappers split, Romero somehow managed to do the best thing he possibly could. He somehow headhunted the guy responsible for the best levels in Outlaws and Mysteries of the Sith, and gave him free reign as a mapper and campaign director. Name was Christen Klie. Following his hire the game was effectively rebooted AGAIN. This time - for a good reason.

Now, Klie was polishing this turd like 1.5 years, quit to some personal reaaons half a year before the game's release, didn't even get mentioned in the credits.

What does Romero do in the last half a year?

HE COMPLETELY FUCKING REDESIGNS EPISODE 1 IN E4M2 PERFECT HATRED STYLE EXPERT LEVEL FPS MY ASS.

Doesn't have enough time to redesign the other episodes, so the balance there is Klie's. 4 episode ends up being beta quality at best, because likely Klie didn't get around to properly polish it, and Romero invested the time meant for it at ep1 instead.

And that redesign. Is THE. Reason. The game. Flopped. Without it the game is perfectly playable and would have been a 7, maybe 7.5 out of 10. It would be palatable and somewhat genuinely enjoyable everything post-ep1.

Ep1 however is basically sticking needles in your dick while fucking your asshole with a cactus.

And THAT is that second retarded decision.

>student loans
Lmao

bump

why does his net worth range 900,000
that doesnt sound very promising

i like the eye switches because it gets rid of that "press a switch and then walk around wondering what the fuck it did" feel that basically every wad has

>while Trent and Robin Williams worked on Doom.
I'm sorry what? I know I saw a pic with Carmack and Reznor once so maybe he was involved somehow but Robin Williams?

Because John Romero is a Gen X Boomer.

Using exclusively Apple products and being married to a turbo feminist who described the first Tomb Raider reboot as "an island of rapist"

Reznor made the Quake soundtrack and id put the NIN logo on the ammo boxes in the game because they liked his music so much.

Supposedly he did all of it for free too because he really liked Doom

Alright but that doesn't explain robin williams.

How do I get rich without sucking dick or going back in time and studying in school

It's basically normal people's tier.

he was just hanging around.

bitcoin.

I can't understand economics even on the most entry level stuff. What are some good tutorials into how to invest

Step 1. Have money.
Step 2. Buy bitcoin.
Step 3. Wait and pray.

He was at a comic con and literally no one was lined up to get stuff signed I was the only one and had a little chat got some signed stuff gave me some free stuff too

I want this book to be written

Blessed post

John, you're a washed-up hasbeen
I dare you to make and release a new game.
