The pair have had to dramatically downsize their studio since the money dried up – but they're determined to keep on coding to the bitter end

One thing that’s entertaining about these “crashes” is that they frequently give failures an excuse for why they fail.

John Romero has never once individually made a game people liked. He made Quake, got fired from id, and released failure after failure. It’s insane he still has a name people talk about.

He had to downsize because no one wanted to play Gunman Taco Truck, Empire of Sin, or SIGIL II.

Gunman Taco Truck

I had to google that and it looks like a mobile flash game from 2010

The last game he made that I remember (and I never played it), is Daikatana. And that was how long ago? 20+ years?

Technically he got fired because he didn’t contribute to quake that much, mostly he got addicted to deathmatch. Which, you know, fair
