Doom creator John Romero's studio not closed, as publishers express interest in saving cancelled game
Hey everyone! There's been some confusion floating around, so I wanted to clear things up about Romero Games, the studio founded by the legendary John Romero (you know, the guy behind Doom!).
Last week, when Microsoft went through some layoffs, it sounded like Romero Games might be in trouble because their publisher pulled funding for their game. That's rough news, I know!
There were even rumors that the studio had completely shut down. But hold on, that's not the whole story!
Good news! Romero Games is still open! They confirmed that they're working hard to keep it that way. It's been tough; they've had to rethink their staffing, but they're not giving up.
The best part? Several other publishers have already reached out, interested in helping them finish their cancelled game! How cool is that? They're currently checking out these options, so fingers crossed for them!
John Romero himself has said that this team and their game are "worth fighting for." And I totally agree! I'm excited to see what they come up with next.
It’s great to see the gaming community rally around studios facing challenges. It shows how much we all care about the people who make the games we love.
So, yeah, while there's been some uncertainty, the future's looking brighter for Romero Games. I'll keep you updated as I hear more!
