id software co-founders teaming up again!

[aaronmills]

Just spreading the word that Tom Hall and John Romero are teaming up once again at a company called "Loot Drop".

The two are co-founders of id software and had major hands in Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Commander Keen, etc. before leaving for other ventures.

Now they're back together and focusing on social games (i.e. Facebook games).

Here's an article:

All I will say is wow.

Facebook? That's like the only thing below cell phone games. Or maybe they're both at the bottom... Either way both products are useless and not valid gaming platforms. Waste of talent indeed.

John Romero will make your Facebook page his bitch.
