Lol. The highschool he/she said drama..... don't even know who to believe. Quite pathetic, these people have so much money too and they can't just agree on something and shut up?

Mick Gordon, Jeremy Soule and Martin O'Donnell need to start a band together.

Starting to get the feeling that composers are "the drummers" of game design.

I remember my parents scolding me 30 years ago with something like this:

"Do you always need to have the last word like a fucking poster board? Sometimes you just stfu and move on"

Looks like the world didn't learn this yet.

Also the ratio of words used to actual substance is high in this one.

 

[Skifi28]

Can't they just solve this in court instead of social media? This has become quite embarassing.

For fuck's sake, Bethesda. You're supposed to a) resolve it, or b) ignore it. Not throw gasoline on the fire.

Bethesda trashtalking Mick felt wrong from the start. Wrong and petty.

Courts are so 20th century, it's social media cred now baby.

Bethesda, never fails to disappoint.

If they have some receipts, it's worth seeing what they have to say.

Is this another bayonetta pull?

The thing is Marty fought a legal battle and won. And then lost again for accidentally revealing sensitive info.

If Mick has receipts why is he not bringing this to the court?

 

[FluffShake]

"full and complete documented evidence"

 

[Thirty7ven]

Whoa they are doubling down what a surprise, shit management.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Probably not a popular opinion, but I'm on bethesdas side on this issue.

Maybe it's in the process? I remember Marty being vocal before he went to court as well. Of course a little too vocal after.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You're not looking too good here Bethesda.

 

[Topher]

A bit absurd to be handling this whole thing in such a public manner.

 

[Alexios]

One sided they say, like theirs was for a while before a response was finally written? Then they pretend they are affected more than a person losing a (paying according to them) job and likely many job opportunities, by the previous account that was trashing him and until recently the only around?

 

[EDMIX]

lol I rarely ever believe anything a company says regarding shit like this. They are not just going to admit some huge legal fault.

 

[AJUMP23]

Release the EMAILS and the CONTRACTS!

More than likely, the private conversations broke down and now both parties are going public to force the hand of the other through the court of public opinion.

While the court of law is all that matters in this case the court of public opinion is what directly affects the guy getting future work. Scummy on Bethesda.

Team Mick.

Twitter need to end. Drama every fucking single day.

Twitter need to end. Drama every fucking single day.

Social media and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

 

[Skyfox]

Could have offered Mick some cash and some extra to start the next Doom album..

 

[Panajev2001a]

Pathetic reply. Light on details and generic. They trashtalked, got schooled, and are now whining about it.

 

[CircleOfFire]

So lets see about this nonsense:

• "...one-sided and unjust account..." - Says the company whose employee posted a tirade to Reddit.
• "...full and complete documented evidence to disclose in an appropriate venue..." - What's an appropriate venue in this case? Sounds like bluffing to me. Especially given the receipts that Mick Gordon brought to his post.
• "...incited harassment and threats..." - Mick clearly posted in his tweet thread that it wasn't an excuse for a hate campaign. This definitely looks like they're trying to direct the blame to him for those threats.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Post receipts or pay the man.

Mutually assured destruction, it is

 

[Dick Jones]

Better off saying nothing, pay behind the scenes with an NDA and hope it blows over.

Their PR needs a slap. Dumbasses

 

[EverydayBeast]

My solution to Bethesda is to look through your game catalog and make a new version of one of them.

 

[Captain Toad]

Lol. The highschool he/she said drama..... don't even know who to believe. Quite pathetic, these people have so much money too and they can't just agree on something and shut up?

Except one side had the receipts to back it up. And the damaged that was caused went far beyond personal pride and hurt his professional reputation.

Bethesda really looks bad here.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

And to think this all started with Bethesda announcing that they would be including a copy of the soundtrack in the collector's edition. They're probably regretting that, lol.

 

[Kacho]

Oh shit!

We reject the distortion of the truth and selective presentation of incomplete "facts."

I fucking knew it!!!

We stand ready with full and complete documented evidence to disclose in an appropriate venue as needed.

I never doubted this for a moment. Mick Gordon's career is absolutely toast. Any company considering to work with him will reach out to Bethesda for the full details and it won't be pretty.

Enjoy working on indies, Micky boy.

 

[roosnam1980]

all of this infighting will take its toll on phil spencer

What did you know? Zero evidence has been provided by either side.

 

[Markio128]

I don't even know what's going on.

 

[Alexios]

Wow, it really took a lot of hard work to sway your unbiased opinion but it sure paid off for them. Dude, lol.

Should I even give a shit about whatever this is?
