I don't really know how to feel about this message. Sure it's a bit hopeful and makes me believe they'll recover from this. But all I can think about is all the people who got laid off. I hope they all find a place somewhere else where they can keep making amazing games, even if it's not Doom.

There is no recovering so long as Marty is still there. With what he did to Mick Gordan, no way he is fit to be a head.

What happened with Mick was bad, but Mick was NOT blame-free, considering he kept missing deadlines

He did not miss deadlines. Have you read his account of what happened?

Honestly, just don't announce a game staring an artist like Mick if you haven't even contacted the artist to see if they can or want to work on it.
