Doom co-creator John Romero has publicly expressed his support for developers impacted by the massive layoffs at id Software. The cuts are part of a broader restructuring within Microsoft’s Xbox division, which includes the loss of 95 staff members at the legendary studio.
Romero praised the recent work of the id team for maintaining the studio’s legacy with “care, skill, and respect,” while emphasizing the urgent need for better digital preservation of game industry history and assets.
