Music is literally half of why that game is amazing. They should have been sucking his dick to keep him around.
Geez management sucks almost without exception. Almost.

#12Out of curiosity, has there ever been a gag agreement that wasn't put forth by an absolute asshole to cover up their asshole behavior? Like are they ever used for good?
Yes; among the kinds of restraining orders against assholes, there can be provisions against certain kinds of public speech on certain topics (e.g. which would be harassing to someone).

#13Ugh, what a horror story. I mean, crunch is terrible enough, but I can't imagine how exhausting it must be for music production, especially when it's this kind of balls-to-the-wall power-metal stuff that is used for DOOM. While I can appreciate that it's really well done, I actually had to turn it off during the game because it was just too much for my ears.

#15Is it known why this response comes out now, 2-3 years after the “DOOM Eternal OST Open Letter” to which it responds? Waiting until any related NDAs time out?

#16A lot of this feels a little "glutton for punishment". Like, they keep f*cking with him yet he continues to interact..
Pre-OST it sounds like he kept interacting in hopes that they would pay him on time. For the OST, I suppose a combination of professional decency and the fact that his name was already attached to the release kept him going.
Mick Gordon's been a household name thanks to his legendary DOOM(2016) soundtrack, so I'm not surprised he was trying to keep it up. A musician can really live or die by their name recognition and that open letter did a helluva number to his reputation.

Having worked as a contractor ... sometimes, you hope things will get better or at least tolerable, or you go on because still need to be paid because stopping may mean you get nothing (bad contracts).
It's a pretty common topic for contractors.

Mick says in the statement that he feels like he has exhausted every other avenue of addressing the Open Letter and lack of payment for all of the music used in the game, this is pretty much a last resort that he didn't want to have to publish.
