The '90s were weird, man. Nowadays our celebrity game devs leave the beef and drama to streamers, but things could get heated back in the day. One of PC Gamer's very own "Game Gods" from the class of 2000, Cliff Bleszinski, recently dished a little on that heady time in an interview with IGN, particularly on how hard the former Epic developer was gunning for id and Ion Storm co-founder John Romero.
"I saw Romero as my enemy," Bleszinski said flatly of the Doom co-creator, recalling a jealousy of id's success and Romero's "rock and roll" persona: "'I'm going to take that guy down'. It goes back to, again, the whole 'I had nothing and I wanted it, you had everything and you flaunted it.' So we were gunning to try and defeat [Quake]."
