From the Dallas Observer article quoted by story I linked to (Jan 1999):
"Throughout it all, ION Storm has been hemorrhaging employees; of the approximately 85 people ION employed a year ago, more than half have quit or been let go. Finally, six weeks ago, virtually the entire team working on Daikatana jumped ship and joined Wilson's company."

To think that John Romero has the slightest bit of credibility as a character witness when it comes to such issues is so far from reality it is almost funny.

That link isn't news to me. We just disagree on whether someone can have credibility in some situations but not others.
