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.

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

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?
