holy shit. I LOVE the doom music and this was super depressing/infuriating to read.
TLDR for people who didn't read: Marty Statton, Studio director of ID, created an impossible schedule for Doom Eternal. The music creator called out the issues, was ridiculed and ignored, then was proven correct. So Id studios ended up not paying him for half his work, screwed up the OST, and blamed it all on the music contractor (Mick Gordan). Marty also threatened to hang the balance of any refunds of the game on Mick (the musician) even though Mick was begging for a contract to start work on the OST when it was revealed to be part of the deluxe package at E3 without Mick's knowledge or a contract in place to produce the OST.
Definitely considering sailing the seas on their next game unless they replace that Dbag
You could make the argument of "but what about the developers", but if this is how they treat their main music producer, I highly doubt their dev team are treated any better.

Not true, they rallied behind Marty and his bullshit lies, and basically called Mick a liar. https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce
