Blaming "Daikatana" on bad luck seems like a stretch. He pissed away a
lot of money, generated more hype than I've seen for just about any
other game, and released a steaming pile of crap.
His "game designer as rock star" motif rightly pissed off a lot of
hard-working people in the industry, and even those who weren't pissed
off were probably a little bitter about how badly he wasted the
opportunities he earned from his salad days at iD.
I'm sure he's a great guy, but if you can't pack the gig, don't put on
a Mick Jagger persona.
