It's sad any time I see fellow proletariat or PMC doing free work for billion dollar companies and to the detriment of other people just trying to make a living.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 an…
> the fact that his name was already attached couldn't he have sued on the basis his name was attached to it?
Quite possibly, but that's a lot of money to put up against a company (zenimax) known for their legal team. It would also mean never working with id/zenimax/bethesda/possibly even Microsoft game studios in general again.

#44Thank you Mick Gordon for all your hard work!
Mick is such a legend. I'm sorry this happened to him.
I wish we got to hear the original original sound track, not some last minute Chad edit. I wouldn't be surprised if he deleted it all.

#45”The same thoughtless disregard for basic music fundamentals that plagued the preliminary edits ended up on the final OST.”
As a musician and music-lover, seeing how they brickwalled [1][2] Mick’s tracks in the screenshots only serves to add to the heartbreak of his entire saga.

#48As a musician I understand his desire to deliver a finished work that everyone could be happy with even after he was given strong incentives to just bail on it. It is a shame that the OST he wanted to release wasn't able to happen.

#49Out 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?
One example might be to protect the name of the victim in sexual harassment/abuse cases

#50"Afterwards, he offered me a six-figure settlement to never speak about it." Mick, thats not a settlement, thats a payoff for taking a hit so the boss doesnt take the fall. Marty wanted this to go away so he could continue ladder-climbing the tech industry. that he even attempted to do this strongly suggests hes probably paid these things out before.
Tangent, but I always wonder how these kind of payments are paid for. Would it be out of pocket money for Marty, or would he let Mick bill some phantom hours and have the company pay for it?
