Id Software, Bethesda and Stratten are yet to respond. “The only thing left to do is issue this public response,” finished Gordon. Stubborn refusal to address his Reddit post, out of fear for his image, has crippled Marty’s ability to offer anything but a gag order.” “I have given Marty ample opportunity to correct the false accusations he made against me, and all I’ve asked for is the truth and to be paid for my work. Multiple attempts to get the Reddit post taken down failed, and offers to produce a new version of the soundtrack were rejected, claims Gordon.

The torrent of abuse really started to wear me down in ways I couldn’t previously imagine,” he continued. After the official soundtrack for Doom Eternal was released on April 18th to Collectors Edition owners, players quickly noticed that something sounded off. “I began receiving specific expressions of violence, the content so vivid it made me sick.

“Even worse, id Software still refuses to pay for it, despite the fact their contract guarantees payment for any additional minute requested beyond the original budget.”Īfter going into detail about the release of the soundtrack and the poor response it got, as well as the legal back and forth Gordon endured with id Software, the letter explains how Gordon was subjected to “online abuse” which “escalated at an alarming rate as Marty’s Reddit post led to frustration over my alleged professional failure, and toxic gamers grew openly aggressive.” Gordon then goes into issues with pay, claiming id Software “used nearly all the music I produced throughout development - almost five hours worth – while only paying for half of it.” Acts of hate dished out online won’t result in any positive change. ⚠️This statement is not an excuse for a hate campaign.
Refusing to accept the reality of the situation, he threw the proposal back in my face and proceeded to tear me down for having the audacity to raise the issue in the first place.” Gordon claims he “proposed an alternative plan that reflected the reality of development” but Stratton “rejected my belief that the current schedule was flawed and suggested my act of trying to do something about it was a sign of incompetence. The requirement to write, perform, record, produce, mix, master and implement two levels of music - with feedback rounds - every 30 days, when the levels themselves were bare-bone, now looked ridiculous.” The statement concludes by asking fans to refrain from making conclusions from Gordon's statement, and that any harassment or threats sent to Stratton, Mossholder, or id Software will be met with "swift and appropriate action".“It was a masterpiece in Excel but a disaster in reality.

It continues with Bethesda "unequivocally" supporting Stratton, Mossholder, and id Software, and then revealing that it "stand ready with full and complete documented evidence to disclose in an appropriate venue as needed." In the full post, which you can see below, Bethesda states that Gordon's statement "both mischaracterized and misrepresented the team at id Software, the development of Doom Eternal, Marty Stratton, and Chad Mossholder with a one-sided and unjust account of an irreparable professional relationship." Bethesda has now spoken up about the matter in its own statement. There were a lot of allegations thrown in that post, including lack of pay, and even flak thrown directly at producer Marty Stratton.
Recently, famed composer Mick Gordon issued a statement that talked about his time working on Doom Eternal's soundtrack, where he revealed that certain situations amounted and resulted in the end product not being up to snuff.
