John Romero Lambastes Gamecock’s Mike Wilson
It would seem that there’s little love-loss between John Romero, who will forever be remembered as the man responsible for the abomination that was Daikatana, and Gamecock’s CEO Mike Wilson, who will forever be remembered as the man who founded the most inappropriately named videogame company of all time.
After hearing of the publisher’s upcoming release schedule, Romero lashed out personally against Wilson in a recent post on his blog.
Said Romero:
Once again, just like with Godgames, Wilson is taking all the credit away from the indie devs and pasting his asinine logo everywhere.
I got a chuckle out of reading the reader’s comments on the article. People are now starting to get a clue about how Mr. Wilson operates. Hey everyone, he hasn’t changed in over 10 years - these are the kinds of jackass stunts he pulled at Ion Storm with Daikatana. Remember the bitch ad? Yeah. He also ran ads (”image ads”) that just had pictures of Ion Storm founders, himself and our COO. That was just the beginning of his madness.
It got much worse at Godgames where he pretty much just partied all the time and after the whole thing got reined in by Take 2 he went underground for a while, waiting for his next victim/investor so he could go hogwild all over again. And thus was born Gamecock.
It’s only a matter of time before Wilson responds in kind, we imagine.
