It's crazy that Romero ended up being the likable one of the two. Romero supports trans rights. So does Tom Hall. Carmack was a hero of mine before I knew anything about him other than what he'd done for programming. What a loser.
Sandy Petersen is a Mormon and I have no idea about his politics, but he's probably some kind of bigot too if I had to guess. He made some of my favorite Doom 2 levels though. American McGee seems cool. Shawn Green doesn't have much of an internet presence.
Bobby Prince (the music composer) I'd really want to know more about him. He was a platoon leader in Vietnam so I would be surprised if he's witness or committed warcrimes. He was also a lawyer but I can't find his case history at all. I hope he's cool and not like the rest because I really admire his music.
I used to almost worship the Doom staff and I should have known all along they were just humans like us.

Not all Mormons suck. Brian Sanderson has managed to avoid spewing any kind of vile bigotry across a prodigious volume of literature.

As younger people with less exposure to the GenX conservatives of modern day, maybe they did suck less back in the 90s. Or maybe you sucked more (I'm not particularly proud of my teenage political tastes) and so their vulgarity wasn't as apparent. Hard to say.
But I've noticed a consistent amount of brain rot that comes with amassed fortune, particularly when they let you into the Kool Kids Klub and some Epstein type starts handing out drinks.
Yeah, he didn't just help make Doom, Sandy Petersen was the most prolific level designer for the games. He designed 19 levels in Doom 1 and 17 in 2.
Not only was he prolific, his maps are great. They're usually regarded as the best levels in the games, like in Doom 2 he did map 7: Dead Simple and map 8: Tricks and Traps. Somehow he's also a Mormon. He also writes HP Lovecraft fiction.
Also turns out he's an outspoken transphobe and overall chud.
American McGee seems cool but it's kind of sad watching him trying to make Alice 3 for like ten years now with almost no progress or funding. He keeps trying so I don't know if it's just a grift he's running or if he truly believes in it.
She's not really a mass-murderer. In the first game she's trying to overcome the trauma of her family dying in a house fire and the tWiStEd nature of Wonderland is supposed to mirror the state her psyche
The second game's plot is about [CW: Sexual Violence]

which is maybe a step too far for your Hot Topic/Tim Burton platformer game
I had the same thing for :melon-musk:. I can't believe I ever thought he was cool.
But hey, at least your hero-turned-villain at least advanced his field. Mine is little more than the Koch Brothers eventual replacement but he's ok with EVs.

Not all suck, but Sandy Peterson sure does . CW: transphobia, racism, nazi palling, Ben Shapiro
Ugh.
I'm disappointed but I'm not surprised. His Doom levels are fantastic but he's a garbage human.
A mormon helped make Doom? THAT DOOM?

Is American McGee chill too? I remember reading how he fucking hated George Bush and went to China to build his company there.

The whole "wholesome Alice in Wonderland, but she's a blood-soaked mass murderer" thing is so out of touch. It's not the 90s any more, man.

he could probably get some funding if he just tried doing Wednesday: the video game
Feels like it fits right in with a community of twee leftists posting guillotines.
